RE: Invitation to Attend Section 106 Consulting Party Meetings

Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor

Tier II Environmental Impact Statement, Washington, DC to Richmond Segment 

Dear Chief Gray, 

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public 

Transportation (DRPT) are continuing to conduct environmental studies associated with the Tier 

II Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Washington, DC to Richmond segment of the 

Southeast High Speed Rail corridor (DC2RVA project). The DC2RVA project spans 123 miles 

along an existing rail corridor owned by CSX Transportation (CSXT), from Control Point RO 

(MP CFP-110) in Arlington south to the CSXT A-Line/CSXT-S-Line junction at MP A-11 in 

Centralia, Virginia (Chesterfield County). A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was 

published in September 2017. A copy of this document along with additional information on the 

project in general may be found at the project website (www.DC2RVArail.com) .

As part of ensuring the project is compliant with Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (Section 106), FRA invited the Pamunkey Tribe to be a consulting party in the 

Section 106 process. All technical reports produced to date were sent to you in April 2017, and 

the project team has distributed details associated with the Draft EIS to you via email. As noted 

above, the full Draft EIS is available on the project website, and we can also send you a digital 

copy upon request. 

The project team is holding in-person meetings with the Section 106 consulting parties to discuss 

the DC2RVA project and answer any questions they may have on the EIS process. We invite you 

to participate in one or more of the following upcoming meetings:

October 20, 2017; 1:00pm Lloyd House

220 N Washington Street, Alexandria, VA 22314

October 24, 2017; 10:00am Parsons Transportation Group

100 M Street SE, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20003
October 27, 2017; 10:00am Fredericksburg City Hall/Second Floor 

715 Princess Anne Street, 22401

October 30, 2017; 10:00am DC2RVA Office

801 East Main Street, Suite 1000, Richmond, VA 23219

If you would prefer to meet in person with just FRA and DRPT, please respond accordingly and 

we will schedule a meeting. Please note that, if acceptable to you, such a meeting may also 

include representatives from the Catawba Tribe. Although the Catawba Tribe is not Federally 

recognized in Virginia, it has expressed a general interest in projects along the I-95 corridor and 

were invited to participate in this project as a consulting party. 

If you have any questions regarding the meetings, the project, or the role of the Section 106 

consulting parties, or if you’d like to request a meeting with just FRA and DRPT, please contact 

John Winkle, FRA Environmental Protection Specialist, at 202-493-6067 or

Hello consulting parties!

The DC2RVA team wanted to send you a quick update on a few items: the project DEIS, additional technical studies, and upcoming meetings.

As some of you have heard, the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the DC to Richmond segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail project was released on

September 8, 2017. This document includes a summary of technical studies to date along the project corridor as well as project purpose and need and recommendation on a

preferred alternative. The document is over 900 pages long with thousands of pages of appended technical studies, project correspondence, and more- just a little light reading!

We wanted to make you all aware that this document has been published if you are interested in taking a look. The draft EIS can be found here: http://dc2rvarail.com/draft/

We also wanted to touch base to give you a brief summary of the cultural resource studies associated with the project. As you know, Phase I (identification)-level studies have

been ongoing for the past two years. Copies of these reports and associated documents were sent to you earlier this year. Dovetail and the rest of the DC2RVA team are

continuing to complete Phase I studies on areas that were recently added to the project area based on the selection of a preferred alternative (areas such as road

improvements, etc). This work will be ongoing for the next three to six months. In addition, the team is completing Phase II (evaluation)-level studies on numerous above-ground

resources to determine their National Register of Historic Places eligibility. This includes archival research, additional fieldwork, and producing more reports. As with the original

suite of Phase I reports, all documents resulting from this new set of work will be sent to you all for review and comment as they are completed. All work is also being

coordinated with the DHR and other cooperating agencies.

In addition to more technical studies, the DC2RVA team will also be reaching out to you all (if we have not already) to set up a meeting to go over the project in general, talk

about the cultural resource studies, and discuss any concerns you may have. Emails and phone calls will be coming your way in the next few days to begin to set these

meetings up.

In the meantime, if you have any questions on the DEIS or the ongoing technical studies, please let us know. We're happy to help!

Best,

Kerri

Hello Ashland/Hanover folks!

Thank you so much for your continued feedback on the studies associated with the DC to Richmond Segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail. As I mentioned in my email a few

weeks ago, we are reaching out to our consulting parties to see if we can arrange for a meeting to chat about the project and answer any questions you may have. We wanted to

see if by chance you all are free at 1pm on October 11th? That is the date of our public hearing in Ashland so we thought maybe we can provide additional details prior to that event

and then we would be in Ashland for the hearing that evening. Nora has graciously agreed to let us meet in Ashland Town Hall.

Additional details will be shared once we set a date.

Thank you!

Kerri

Hello Richmond area folks,

Thank you so much for your continued feedback on the studies associated with the DC to Richmond Segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail. As I mentioned in my email a few

weeks ago, we are reaching out to our consulting parties to see if we can arrange for a meeting to chat about the project and answer any questions you may have. We'd like to meet with you at the DC2RVA project office on Main Street in Richmond so we can show images, maps, etc, as needed. Would you be free to meet with us on one of the following

dates:

October 30 at 10am or 1pm

October 31 at 10am or 1pm

Additional details will be shared once we set a date.

Thank you!

Hi all,

In addition to setting up individual consulting party meetings, I wanted to make sure you are all aware of the upcoming public hearings for the DC2RVA project. There are two

this week and three next week. See this link for additional details: http://dc2rvarail.com/indexphpcid162/

If you need any additional details, just let me know.

Thanks!

Kerri and team

Hello consulting parties!

The DC2RVA team wanted to send you a quick update on a few items: the project DEIS, additional technical studies, and upcoming meetings.

As some of you have heard, the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the DC to Richmond segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail project was released on

September 8, 2017. This document includes a summary of technical studies to date along the project corridor as well as project purpose and need and recommendation on a

preferred alternative. The document is over 900 pages long with thousands of pages of appended technical studies, project correspondence, and more- just a little light

reading! We wanted to make you all aware that this document has been published if you are interested in taking a look. The draft EIS can be found

here: http://dc2rvarail.com/draft/

We also wanted to touch base to give you a brief summary of the cultural resource studies associated with the project. As you know, Phase I (identification)-level studies have

been ongoing for the past two years. Copies of these reports and associated documents were sent to you earlier this year. Dovetail and the rest of the DC2RVA team are

continuing to complete Phase I studies on areas that were recently added to the project area based on the selection of a preferred alternative (areas such as road

improvements, etc). This work will be ongoing for the next three to six months. In addition, the team is completing Phase II (evaluation)-level studies on numerous aboveground resources to determine their National Register of Historic Places eligibility. This includes archival research, additional fieldwork, and producing more reports. As with

the original suite of Phase I reports, all documents resulting from this new set of work will be sent to you all for review and comment as they are completed. All work is also

being coordinated with the DHR and other cooperating agencies.

In addition to more technical studies, the DC2RVA team will also be reaching out to you all (if we have not already) to set up a meeting to go over the project in general, talk

about the cultural resource studies, and discuss any concerns you may have. Emails and phone calls will be coming your way in the next few days to begin to set these

meetings up.

In the meantime, if you have any questions on the DEIS or the ongoing technical studies, please let us know. We're happy to help!

Best,

Kerri

Hello Consulting Parties,

Hope 2018 is treating you well so far!

We wanted to provide everyone with a brief update on the DC2RVA project and cultural resource studies. As you know,

technical studies associated with the project commenced in 2015. The results of the first round of work were coordinated

with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) and culled together in the project Draft Environmental Impact

Statement (DEIS), along with all comments that you all had submitted on the project. A link to this document was

disseminated in the fall of 2017. 

Since that time, the project team has continued to refine the engineering, thus reducing the limits of disturbance in many

areas and slightly changing them in others. Cultural resource studies associated with these areas will commence next

week. This includes additional archaeological Phase I survey, additional architectural reconnaissance survey, and

intensive-level architectural survey. We anticipate that approximately five reports will come out of this work (one

archaeological report, one reconnaissance architectural report, and three intensive-level architectural reports). Copies of

these documents will be sent to you for your comments upon completion. It is our goal to have them to you by the end of

May 2018.

All of these technical studies will be sent to the DHR for formal review of resource eligibility. Once this has been

determined, coordination of project effect will commence. This step will occur this summer, likely in July. Information

regarding effect recommendations will be sent to you all as it is available, and a second round of in-person consulting

party meetings will be set to solicit your feedback on this second round of studies and ongoing coordination. 

Concurrent with these cultural resource-specific tasks, the larger project team is continuing to coordinate with cooperating

agencies and author the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). This document will be done this fall. As with the

DEIS, information on the FEIS will be sent to you as it is available. 

We will be in touch with more information as reports are completed and information is ready for dissemination. In the

meantime, as always, if you have any questions, just ask! Cultural resource inquiries can be sent to me, and Emily Stock

with the DRPT can answer the larger project queries. My contact info is below, and Emily can be reached

at Emily.Stock@drpt.virginia.gov / 804-786-1052.

Best,

Kerri

Hello DC2RVA rail consulting parties,

I hope you are having a great spring! Lots going on over the past few months with the DC2RVA project, so I wanted to

provide an update. 

- We commenced technical studies on areas in the limits of disturbance and associated area of potential effect that had

not been previous investigated in January. Since then, we have done additional archaeological Phase I survey,

architectural Phase I/identification-level survey, and intensive architectural documentation. The work resulted in the

recordation of an additional 350+ architectural properties and over a dozen archaeological sites at the Phase I level and

studies on 52 architectural properties at the Phase II/intensive level to determine NRHP eligibility. These studies have

been summarized in five technical reports.

- All five reports have been (or will shortly be) submitted to the DHR for their review. As soon as the last report is finalized,

which should be next week, I will get copies of all five reports to you for your files/review. An email on the transfer method

will arrive next week with more information.

- These studies, combined with the work done over the past three years, have been culled together to create a list of

"historic properties" (resources that are eligible for, assumed eligible for, or listed on the NRHP). We are finalizing this list,

and I will send that your way once it is done and the DHR has concurred.

- This list of historic properties will be used to evaluate project effect. This will start in mid-June. MOA production will be

underway once effect is determined.

- As I mentioned this winter, we'd like to have a series of meetings to discuss all of this, including the remaining technical

studies, resource eligibility, project effect, and MOA stipulations. You are invited to attend any of these meetings in person

or via telephone (dial-in information will be sent as the meetings get closer):

Thursday June 21, 1:00pm-3:00pm= Richmond area. DC2RVA project office. 801 E. Main Street Suite 1000,

Richmond.

Hello Consulting Parties!

The five 2018 DC2RVA technical reports are ready for your download. They can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ml2a80op238ock1/AADkvZL8qgJN9-485pl0uYIXa?

dl=0

A couple of notes:

- Per regulations set forth in the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), the archaeological report cannot be disseminated to anyone who is not a consulting party as

this report contains site data that is not for public distribution. If you know of someone who is not a consulting party and has questions on archaeological sites, please feel free to

pass on my name and contact info and I'm happy to help!

- These five reports include information that was not included in the previous 17 reports that you reviewed last year. This includes areas that were not part of the limits of

disturbance at that time, areas associated with the preferred alternative, and intensive-level architectural studies on some of the resources along the alignment to render

National Register determinations where needed. If you have any questions on why a resource was/was not included, just ask.

- Please have your comments to me by July 2, 2018. We are extending this deadline past 30 days so that you can attend one of the consulting party meetings and ask any

questions you may have, if you have not asked them in advance via telephone or email. You are more than welcome to submit comments any time before July 2, but we would

like to present a cut-off date to help things along.

- Lastly, I've heard from one group that they cannot access Dropbox. I can definitely accommodate any others who may need the documents transferred in another way. 

I am absolutely available to talk any time about these reports or the cultural resource process in general. Email or call me (kbarile@dovetailcrg.com/540-899-9170). Have

questions about the project? Emily Stock is your gal! She is cc'd here. 

Thanks and happy reading!

Hello all,

First, don't forget to let me know if you will be attending one of the upcoming consulting party meetings. The first one is tomorrow in Richmond, followed by meetings in

Fredericksburg and DC. Details on times and locations are below. I've heard from very few of you, so I want to make sure you can attend in person or via phone if you have the

opportunity.

Second, yesterday, the DRPT and project team met with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources to provide a project update and go over the list of historic properties. As a

reminder, a "historic property" in the Section 106 world is any resource that is eligible for or listed in the National Register of Historic Places. After four years of cultural resource

studies, the final list of historic properties for the DC2RVA project corridor contains 118 resources. 

Using this list, the DHR provided their determinations on project effect (if the project would diminish the characteristics that render these 118 resources eligible for the NRHP).

The three categories of determination were no effect, no adverse effect, and adverse effect. In sum, it was determined that the project would have no effect on 30 resources, no

adverse effect on 65 resources, and an adverse effect on 23 resources (nine archaeological sites and 14 above-ground resources).

Please take a look at the attached project effect letter and table that were sent to the DHR to confirm their determinations. We are soliciting your feedback on this list and the

effect determinations as rendered. Please have your comments to me by July 20th (30 days). We can talk more about effects and historic properties at our upcoming meetings.

I'm also always free for email or telephone exchanges with any of you!

Thank you so much and again, let me know if you will be coming to one of the three upcoming meetings. Hoping to see you!

Best,

Kerri

Hey all! 

Thank you so very much to everyone who participated in our consulting party meetings over the past few weeks for the DC2RVA rail project. We are extraordinarily thankful for

your continued feedback. I wanted to pass around a few things that have occurred since our meeting.

- FRA, DRPT, and the team held a call with the DHR on Monday, July 2 to provide them with an update of the consulting party meetings and to address several key items that

came up. I've shared the info with the pertinent parties but in sum, a more robust dialogue was held on why this project and the Long Bridge rail project to the north are separate

undertakings; Masons' Hall in Richmond has been added to the list of historic properties; and Devil's Half Acre/Lumpkins Jail and the Burial Ground in Shockoe have not been

added to the list as individual resources but are being mitigated through adverse effects in the 106 process to the surrounding Shockoe Valley and Tobacco Row Historic

District. 

- Given this dialogue, the list of historic properties has expanded by one to include Masons' Hall. See the revised attached list. 

- Also attached is the MOA for the Virginia segment of the Richmond to Raleigh (R2R) SEHSR project. I wanted to provide this to you so you can see some of the mitigations

that were proposed for adverse effects on the sister project to the south. This may help you in thinking about mitigation strategies for the adverse effects from this project. Note,

though, that the current project corridor and the R2R corridor overlap between Richmond and Centralia but project plans have slightly changed. Use the effect determinations

for DC2RVA rather than R2R in these cases, such as the Williams Bridge Company. 

- As a reminder, comments on the technical reports, list of historic properties and project effect are due by July 20th. 

Again, we are so deeply appreciative of your feedback on this project and look forward to our next set of calls to chat mitigation. 

Thanks!

Kerri and team

Hello Consulting Parties!

Just a quick reminder that comments on the five 2018 technical reports, list of historic properties, and project effect are due tomorrow, July 20, 2018, by COB eastern time. I've

already received comments from several of you but I know that others are planning on submitting materials. Emailed replies are just fine. Once I receive everyone's feedback, it

will be disseminated to the FRA, DRPT, DHR, and project team. 

Also, I'll be initiating conversations on mitigation of the 23 resources that have received an adverse effect determination in the next few weeks so there absolutely will be more

opportunities to comment!

Thanks so much,

Kerri

Hello all,

Hope you are having a good summer!

First, we want to extend our deepest appreciation to everyone who submitted comments on the five 2018 technical reports, list of historic properties, and project effect. We have

spent the past month pouring over them to assure that your comments are understood and we are processing data associated with your materials. Individual replies, as

appropriate, will be arriving soon. 

Second, as discussed during our meetings in June, the next step will be to hold calls/meetings regarding mitigation to adversely effected resources and continue our discussion

as warranted on historic properties and effects based on your feedback. As of now, we would like to have three calls/meetings: one to discuss resources in Northern Virginia and

Fredericksburg, one to discuss resources in Central Virginia and Ashland, and one to discuss resources in Richmond. You are welcome to listen to/attend any or all of these

meetings. Our goal is to hold them in the latter half of September. Additional information on time and date will be coming shortly. 

Thanks again for your participation!

Kerri

Hello Consulng Pares,

Thank you for your connued input on the DC2RVA rail project. As we menoned a few weeks ago, we have set three consulng party meengs in October to connue our

dialogue on cultural resources along the project corridor. These meengs will include a general project update, discussion on historic properes and project effects, and

dialogues on ways that any adverse effects can be migated. The focus of each meeng will be the general region where the meeng is held but all historic properes

within the corridor are open for discussion.

October 4, 1:30pm-3:00pm= In-person meeng at Dovetail Cultural Resource Group in Fredericksburg (11905 Bowman Drive, Suite 502). A call-in number will also be

available for those who cannot aend and distributed prior to the meeng.

October 12, 10:00am-12:00pm= On-site meeng at Main Street Staon in Shockoe Boom, Richmond (1500 E. Main Street). Gather in the lobby. Since this is an on-site meeng and tour, no call-in number will be established. Note that addional groups outside of the formal consulng party roster have been invited to this meeng to

assure parcipaon from all vested pares.

We hope you are able to join us for one or more of these meengs. Please let me know if you can aend. If you are unable to parcipate, we also encourage wrien

Hope to see you soon!

Greetings all,

As an introduction, my name is Kerri Barile and I am the cultural resource lead for the Washington, DC to Richmond, Virginia (DC2RVA) rail project. The Virginia Department of

Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), and the project consultant team have been working on various studies associated with the rail

expansion project since 2014. Cultural resource work has included archaeological and architectural reconnaissance studies and in-depth research to examine all facets of

prehistory and history within the project impact area. All studies have been coordinated with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, the Advisory Council on Historic

Preservation, and more than 30 consulting groups and agencies who have a vested interest in this corridor.

As many of you know, studies in Richmond have focused on the potential use of Main Street Station as part of the expanded service. Shockoe Bottom has notable cultural

significance for many reasons, including its association with the slave trade and the African-American experience in this area. Although discussions on this area have been

ongoing since the project began, we would like to expand the dialogue through an on-site meeting to inform interested parties on current project plans and the status of cultural

resource studies to date, and to garner feedback on aspects of this area that are most important to the community.

Your organization has been identified as a potential participant in this meeting, and we would like to invite you or another representative of your organization to attend. The

meeting will be held on Friday, October 12 from 10:00am–12:00pm at Main Street Station (meet in the lobby at 1500 E. Main Street, Richmond). The agenda will include updates

from the project team as well as a tour of proposed modifications to the rail system in this area. 

Please let me know if you can attend. If you are unable to participate, we also encourage written comments, which can be sent to me via this email address or through standard

mail at the address listed below. I am also always free for a call to discuss any ideas and issues you may want to share (540-899-9170). Emily Stock at DRPT (cc'd here) can

address general project questions as well.

We hope you are able to join us!

Good morning,

Quickly touching base on the Shockoe DC2RVA meeting in Richmond. Just a heads up that we will not have a call-in option due to the tour-based nature of the meeting. If you

haven't already, shoot me an email if you can attend or if you have questions.

Thanks so much!

Greetings all,

As an introduction, my name is Kerri Barile and I am the cultural resource lead for the Washington, DC to Richmond, Virginia (DC2RVA) rail project. The Virginia Department

of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), and the project consultant team have been working on various studies associated with

the rail expansion project since 2014. Cultural resource work has included archaeological and architectural reconnaissance studies and in-depth research to examine all facets

of prehistory and history within the project impact area. All studies have been coordinated with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, the Advisory Council on Historic

Preservation, and more than 30 consulting groups and agencies who have a vested interest in this corridor.

As many of you know, studies in Richmond have focused on the potential use of Main Street Station as part of the expanded service. Shockoe Bottom has notable cultural

significance for many reasons, including its association with the slave trade and the African-American experience in this area. Although discussions on this area have been

ongoing since the project began, we would like to expand the dialogue through an on-site meeting to inform interested parties on current project plans and the status of

cultural resource studies to date, and to garner feedback on aspects of this area that are most important to the community.

Your organization has been identified as a potential participant in this meeting, and we would like to invite you or another representative of your organization to attend. The

meeting will be held on Friday, October 12 from 10:00am–12:00pm at Main Street Station (meet in the lobby at 1500 E. Main Street, Richmond). The agenda will include

updates from the project team as well as a tour of proposed modifications to the rail system in this area. 

Please let me know if you can attend. If you are unable to participate, we also encourage written comments, which can be sent to me via this email address or through

standard mail at the address listed below. I am also always free for a call to discuss any ideas and issues you may want to share (540-899-9170). Emily Stock at DRPT (cc'd

here) can address general project questions as well.

We hope you are able to join us!

Hello consulting parties,

Thank you again for your continued participation in the cultural resource coordination process for the DC2RVA rail project. Your feedback over the past four years (ack!) has

been invaluable. Through our many meetings, calls, letters, and emails, we have continued to refine the cultural resource studies, determination on APE, and resource eligibility,

with project effect and MOA mitigation stipulations still ongoing. 

Based on feedback received from you all since June and through extensive consultation with the DHR and ACHP, FRA has finalized the list of historic properties in the APE. See

attached. The list was augmented to include several resources at your request, including Rippon Lodge, Mason's Hall, Lumpkin's Jail/Devil's Half Acre site, and the Graveyard for

Free People of Color and Negros. Take a look and let us know if you have any additional comments.

We are also continuing to work with the DHR and ACHP on project effect, and the results of that dialogue are also included in the attached table. We welcome your comments!

In the end, it appears that the project will have an adverse effect on 21 resources, and that the project will have an overall adverse effect on historic properties. I have reached

out to all of you to discuss effect and ensuing mitigation for the MOA, and you have provided some incredible ideas. If you have additional thoughts, send them our way! We

want to assure that this process is inclusive of all voices and thoughts. 

Our next step is to acquire a final effects determination from the DHR and to work on the MOA. Additional details will be disseminated as they are available. In the meantime,

please know I am available to chat about any of this! If you have questions on the project in general, I will definitely find the right person to answer any inquiries you have.

Thanks again!

Kerri

Dear Dr. Barile:

I am writing on behalf of the American Battlefield Trust (“the Trust”), a nonprofit, 

nonpartisan organization dedicated to preserving America’s hallowed battlegrounds and 

educating the public about what happened there and why it matters today. To date, the Trust

has protected more than 50,000 acres associated with the Revolutionary War, War of 1812

and Civil War in 24 states, including 25,652 acres in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

With this letter, the Trust seeks to follow up on the “Project Update & Effect Discussion with 

Consulting Parties” hosted by the Washington, D.C., to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 

(DC2RVA) project team in Richmond on June 21, 2018. We appreciate your continued 

consultation with the Trust and our partners in preservation as the DC2RVA project has 

advanced; this letter is the third in a series of comments that the Trust has provided since the 

project’s commencement (with previous letters dated June 22, 2015, and November 3, 2017).

The project team’s ongoing evaluation of potential impacts to battlefields and related 

resources — as well as the proactive way in which the team has conducted its outreach to

consulting parties and stakeholders — have been welcomed by the Trust. During our most 

recent meeting with the DC2RVA team in Richmond, the Trust took advantage of the 

opportunity to ask the team a number of questions, with none more important than our 

inquiry confirming whether or not the primary, battlefields-centered finding of the project’s 

Tier II Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS) continues to hold true.

Pg. 4-155 of the Draft EIS, which was received by the Trust in 2017, asserts the following:

“Based on preliminary dialogues with DHR [the Virginia Department of Historic Resources], 

the Project would have No Adverse Effect on any of the 11 battlefields within the APE [Area 

of Potential Effects].” We are grateful to the project team for its assurance at this month’s

gathering that it remains the case that no battlefield in the APE is to be adversely affected, as 

well as for efforts taken by the project team — and subsequently described to the Trust — to 

successfully ensure that desired rail improvements in the vicinity of the Trust’s Slaughter Pen 

Farm property in Spotsylvania County will not exceed existing right-of-way onto land 

previously preserved by the Trust or the National Park Service (NPS).

The Trust was likewise pleased to receive confirmation from the DC2RVA team that it 

remains in close contact regarding this project with NPS — in particular, with NPS personnel 
Letter from the American Battlefield Trust (continued)

Page 2 of 2

June 28, 2018

both at the American Battlefield Protection Program as well as at individual parks 

throughout the project area, such as Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military 

Park. It is appropriate to reiterate here a request which the Trust has made previously: If the 

determination that neither the Slaughter Pen Farm nor any of the battlefields within the 

project’s APE will be subject to adverse effect as a result of the project is revised or otherwise 

revisited at any point, the Trust requests immediate notification of this fact as well as the 

opportunity to consult with the DC2RVA team at the earliest possible time thereafter.

We appreciate your notification regarding the pair of historic properties connected to the 

Civil War upon which DHR has determined the DC2RVA project will have an adverse effect: 

the “Civil War Campsite” in Stafford County (DHR ID 44ST1223) and the “Earthwork” in 

Spotsylvania County (DHR ID 44SP0468). The Trust encourages the DC2RVA team to 

collaborate jointly with NPS, DHR, Civil War Trails as well as the Trust’s own historians at 

the appropriate time to determine an ideal approach to interpreting these sites which could 

serve to mitigate the project’s expected impacts. Particularly given the earthwork’s location

— as well as what the DC2RVA team notes is its “notable connection to military actions 

during the war” — we believe that both it and the Stafford campsite (“one of many Union 

army winter encampments in the area ... during the winter of 1862-1863”) hold important 

stories that such mitigative interpretation could assist in illuminating for Virginians and 

Virginia’s many visitors alike.

Once again, the Trust looks forward to receiving and reviewing continued project updates 

from the DC2RVA team in the months ahead. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly 

with any questions at (202) 367-1861, and thank you for the opportunity to provide these 

updated comments on DC2RVA’s progress to date.

Hello Consulting Parties!

Just a quick reminder that comments on the five 2018 technical reports, list of historic properties, and project effect are due tomorrow, July 20, 2018, by COB eastern time. I've

already received comments from several of you but I know that others are planning on submitting materials. Emailed replies are just fine. Once I receive everyone's feedback, it

will be disseminated to the FRA, DRPT, DHR, and project team. 

Also, I'll be initiating conversations on mitigation of the 23 resources that have received an adverse effect determination in the next few weeks so there absolutely will be more

opportunities to comment!

Thanks so much,

Kerri

Kerri,

I have goen through all of the documentaon for Richmond. My concerns sll remain, monitoring the archaeological impact in the Boom and now that the 1818

cemetery has been idenfied to avoid that area completely and if there is any peripheral disturbance that it should be monitored. I am not concerned about architectural

impacts since for the most part systems are being augmented in Richmond. Do you need a formal leer from me or will this email suffice?

Thanks for all the hard work and excellent documentaon.

Dear Dr. Barile:

Thank you for your continued consultation with the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National 

Military Park (FRSP) as the DC2RVA planning progresses. We acknowledge the receipt of the 

2018 technical reports, list of historic properties, and the project effect.

We have read through the reports and have a couple comments with regard to the identification 

and assessment of effects on historic properties, as they relate to FRSP. The park unit known as 

the Stonewall Jackson Shrine, located in Caroline County, is identified in the Architectural 

Intensive Survey (Report B). We appreciate that while the survey focused on architecture, it also 

looked at the larger surrounding property. We feel it is important to note, however, that the NPS 

owns additional property within the survey area that was not discussed in either the report or its 

assessment. The NPS owns a tract of 20 acres on the west side of the railroad. This tract is 

bordered by the railroad to the east, Stonewall Jackson Road (Route 606) to the south, Guinea 

Station Road (Route 607) to the west, and an unnamed stream to the north. It is our opinion that 

this additional property should be taken into consideration as part of the larger historic landscape 

of the Stonewall Jackson Shrine. 

While the technical reports address archaeological and architectural resources, some discussion 

of the larger historic landscapes would be helpful. Our previous comments, included as part of 

the NPS response dated November 7, 2017, referenced a concern about trains queuing up in the 

Fredericksburg Battlefield viewshed. While we understand from the meeting we attended on 

June 26, 2018 that parked trains are not an expected result of the project, the project’s potential 

visual impact on our historic landscapes remains a concern that we feel should be discussed and 

assessed. 
Thank you for consulting with us and for the opportunity to review and comment on the project.

Sincerely,

Re: Washington, D.C. to Richmond High Speed Rail Project

Project Effect Recommendation dated June 20, 2018 

Dear Ms. Stock and Ms. Barile:

The National Trust for Historic Preservation appreciated the recent opportunity for an inperson consultation meeting with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) regarding the 

Washington, D.C. to Richmond High Speed Rail Project (Project). As we discussed during 

the meeting, the National Trust appreciates the need for and generally supports the 

addition of more passenger rail capacity that this Project is intended to provide. As 

expressed in our comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the 

Project, as well as in-person during the recent consultation meeting, the National Trust’s 

goal in participating as a consulting party for this Project is to ensure that adverse effects to 

the historic and archaeological resources in Richmond’s Shockoe Bottom -- including but 

not limited to Lumpkin’s Slave Jail (44HE1053) and the African Burial Ground (44HE1089)

-- are taken into account in the Section 106 consultation for this undertaking. In light of 

this, FRA’s continued failure to individually include these two highly significant resources 

in its evaluation of the Project’s effects is troubling. 

This letter is a formal objection to the Project Effect Determinations for the Project included 

in your correspondence dated June 20, 2018 (Effects Determination Letter). This objection

to the determinations of adverse effects triggers the regulatory requirement for the FRA to 

consult further with the National Trust in an effort to reach a resolution. See 36 C.F.R. § 

800.5(c)(2)(i). This letter briefly summarizes the National Trust’s concerns.

Background

Since 2014, the National Trust has been advocating with our local allies for greater public 

awareness, commemoration, and protection of the Shockoe Bottom area in Richmond. 

Shockoe Bottom was the center of Richmond’s slave trade and was one of the largest trading 

hubs for the purchase and sale of enslaved people in the United States. Slave-trade auction 

houses, offices, slave jails, and residences of the most prominent slave traders were located 

throughout Shockoe Bottom, which was then a creek valley flowing into the James River. 
2

Following the conclusion of the Civil War, Shockoe Bottom was systematically razed, filled 

and ultimately paved over. Decades of re-development and highway construction have 

obscured above-ground visual evidence of the history that occurred at Shockoe Bottom. 

Nevertheless, archaeological resources survive and the area draws visitors to commemorate 

Shockoe’s history of oppression, cruelty, endurance, and courage. 

In recent years, members of Richmond’s African American community have developed a 

proposal to commemorate Shockoe Bottom as sacred ground associated with the suffering, 

injustice, and resistance to slavery. The community-generated proposal would construct a 

Memorial Park on nine acres of land in Shockoe Bottom. The Memorial Park would serve as 

a Site of Conscience, where the public can remember and learn about past struggles for 

freedom, and be inspired to work to address the continuing legacies of slavery. The 

Memorial Park would include public interpretation of Lumpkin’s Slave Jail (also known as 

the Devil’s Half-Acre), the African Burial Ground, and other historic resources; plans for 

interpreting these resources would be impacted by this Project. 

The APE is Inconsistent with Section 106 Regulations

The consulting parties were not consulted regarding the determination of the Area of

Potential Effects (APE) for the Project. We understand from the Effects Determination 

Letter that staff from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources generally concurred 

with the APE via correspondence dated February 2, 2015. However, there was no effort to 

involve consulting parties in that decision. While the National Trust has not received a copy 

of that 2015 letter, we assume that it conforms with the APE as described in the DEIS for 

this Project. 

The DEIS considered an APE for archaeological resources that extends from 50-100 feet on 

either side of the proposed rail alignment, and 50 feet beyond the limits of disturbance for 

new overpasses or where there will be construction and/or earthwork. DEIS at 3-120. For 

aboveground resources, the APE extends 500 feet on either side of the center line of the 

Project’s corridor along most of the route, but the APE is limited to a single city block in 

denser urban settings. The APE was also expanded in some areas “to capture viewshed and 

any potential visual impacts (areas where alterations to a resource’s setting and feeling 

could occur).” DEIS at 3-131. For the vast majority of the Project route, the National Trust 

has no concerns with the approach to identifying the APE outlined in the DEIS. However, 

this approach is overly narrow when considering impacts to historic resources in Shockoe 

Bottom. 

The APE should be expanded to include Lumpkin’s Slave Jail and the African Burial 

Ground. While these are archaeological sites, they are also cultural sites that are interpreted 

and regularly visited by the public. These resources are likely eligible for inclusion in the 

National Register as part of a Traditional Cultural Property, as part of a larger 

archaeological district that includes much of Shockoe Bottom, and/or as a historic site 

eligible under Criterion A where setting and feeling is important to the resource’s integrity. 

The proposed adverse effect determinations for the Project are incomplete and inaccurate

unless they include a detailed evaluation of these resources.

The National Trust welcomes the opportunity to further discuss our concerns about how the 

APE should be applied to Shockoe Bottom and to better understand the analytical process 

used by the FRA to make the determination to exclude these resources. We also respectfully 

request a copy of the February 2, 2015 correspondence regarding this issue. 
3

The Adverse Effect Determinations are Inaccurate and Inadequate

In reaching determinations of effect, the FRA must consider the direct, indirect and 

cumulative adverse effects that the Project will have on historic resources. FRA’s current 

adverse effect determinations are premature, based on insufficient information about the 

types of resources impacted, and are not adequately informed by the involvement of 

consulting parties and the public. 

• The Currently Identified Historic Sites in Shockoe Bottom are Not Solely 

Limited to Significance as Archaeological Sites under National Register 

Criterion D for Data Recovery.

Lumpkin’s Slave Jail and the African Burial Ground are not National Register-eligible solely 

as archaeological sites. These resources also are potentially eligible for listing as aboveground historic sites under National Register Criterion A, for their association with 

historical events. These two known sites have in-place significance that make their setting, 

feeling and association important aspects to maintaining their integrity. Lumpkin’s Slave 

Jail and the African Burial Ground are marked and include interpretative signage for the 

public. They are included as stops along Richmond’s Slave Trail and they are regularly 

visited by the public and descendant community. The Project has the potential to adversely 

affect the setting and feeling of these sites, and those potential effects have, to date, been 

unevaluated. Lumpkin's Slave Jail and the African Burial Ground should be fully evaluated 

for their National Register eligibility for listing individually under Criterion A.1

Additional archaeological research must be conducted, which should evaluate whether 

these resources are part of a potential archaeological district that would include much of the 

area of Shockoe Bottom. A full archaeological survey in Shockoe Bottom should be 

conducted to supplement existing, incomplete archaeological research. There is a very high

potential for discovery of additional nationally significant historic resources associated with

Shockoe Bottom’s difficult history. The boundaries of an archaeological district could very 

likely fall within the APE boundaries for this Project. This would require consideration of 

potential adverse effects to the district. 

Shockoe Bottom should also be evaluated for National Register eligibility as a Traditional 

Cultural Property (TCP). The Lumpkin’s Slave Jail and African Burial Ground sites hold 

particular cultural importance for the African American community and for descendants of 

enslaved people who were imprisoned, sold, and buried in Shockoe Bottom. A TCP is a site 

associated “with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community that (a) are rooted in 

that community’s history, and (b) are important in maintaining the continuing cultural 

 

1 The National Trust acknowledges that recent email correspondence on July 9, 2018 related 

to the Project stated that the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail and the African Burial Ground sites will 

not be included in the APE as individual resources, because “they fall outside of the limits of 

disturbance and this is how the archaeological APE has been applied throughout the 

corridor.” The email went on to note that “the two sites are in the APE and will be mitigated 

as contributing elements to the Shockoe Valley and Tobacco Row Historic District (the 

project will have an adverse effect on the district).” While we appreciate that this is an 

incremental step towards acknowledging and assessing adverse effects to these resources, 

the National Trust continues to believe that the APE should be expanded to include these 

resources as individual resources that will suffer an adverse effect.

identity of the community.” National Register Bulletin 38.2 To the descendant community, 

especially, Shockoe Bottom is hallowed ground and a sacred place, despite its current

blighted condition. This is a spiritual place where members of the descendant community

visit to honor their ancestors, and for other people the area is a site of contemplation and 

reconciliation. The preservation and interpretation of Shockoe Bottom is important in 

maintaining the cultural identity of a community whose history has been systematically 

erased and literally buried. 

Because the significance of the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail and African Burial Ground sites have

been viewed solely through the lens of Criterion D, the sites have been omitted from the 

APE, and no effort has been made to consider their significance under Criterion A, identify 

a larger archaeological district, or evaluate the area as a TCP. This renders the adverse effect 

determinations for the Project incomplete, because the Project’s effects on these resources, 

including effects to the associated cultural values and practices, have not been considered. 

Moving forward, the two existing known sites of Lumpkin’s Slave Jail and the African Burial 

Ground should be evaluated for eligibility under Criterion A, the area should be evaluated

for TCP-eligibility, and the concept of an archaeological district should be further explored. 

Consideration of the Project’s adverse effect should take into account the full nature and 

significance of Shockoe Bottom. This will require additional consultation with the 

descendant community that ascribes profound spiritual and cultural significance to the 

area.

• The Project’s Effects Determinations Fail to Adequately Consider 

Indirect and Cumulative Effects.

The African Burial Ground already serves as an informal memorial for local descendant 

communities and attracts visitors as a place of prayerful reflection. The fact that no ground 

disturbance will occur within the boundaries of Lumpkin’s Slave Jail and the African Burial 

Ground, or that the area also suffers from some noise pollution, does not mean that they 

will not be negatively impacted by the Project. On the contrary, impacts to the site, 

including noise, vibration, visual impacts, and the cumulative impacts of reasonably 

foreseeable induced development, are likely to be significant and must be fully considered 

as part of the Section 106 consultation process. Following the recent in-person consultation 

meeting and a review of the Effects Determination Letter (where there is no discussion of 

cumulative adverse effects), the National Trust is seriously concerned that the FRA is not 

adequately considering the Project’s indirect and cumulative effects. 

Section 106 of the NHPA requires agencies to consider the range of effects that a federal 

undertaking may have on historic resources. Agencies must consider indirect effects

including the “visual, atmospheric or audible elements that diminish the integrity of the 

property's significant historic features.” 36 C.F.R. § 800.5(a)(2)(v). Agencies must also 

 

2 While Traditional Cultural Property designation has been commonly used for Native 

American cultural sites, National Register Bulletin 38 is clear that its applicability is much 

broader. National Register Bulletin 38 recognizes the First African Baptist Church 

Cemetery in Philadelphia as an example of a TCP for its cultural significance for the 

congregation that traces descent from those interred in the Cemetery, as well as 

“Philadelphia’s African American community in general,” and Bulletin coauthor Thomas 

King has used the African Burial Ground in New York City as a paradigmatic example of a 

TCP. 
5

consider “reasonably foreseeable effects caused by the undertaking that may occur later in 

time, be farther removed in distance or be cumulative.” Id. § 800.5(a)(1). 

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) contains similar guidance and direction to 

agencies regarding consideration of indirect and cumulative effects. NEPA regulations 

direct federal agencies to consider indirect effects that “are caused by the action and are 

later in time or farther removed in distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable. Indirect 

effects may include growth inducing effects and other effects related to induced changes in 

the pattern of land use, population density or growth rate . . . .” 40 C.F.R. § 1508.8(b).

Cumulative effects include those that result “from the incremental impact of the action 

when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions 

regardless of what agency (Federal or non-Federal) or person undertakes such other 

actions. Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but collectively significant 

actions taking place over a period of time.” Id. § 1508.7 (emphasis added).

3

FRA’s current review of indirect and cumulative effects for the Project is overly narrow. The 

DEIS considers only effects to resources located within the narrow limits of the 

archaeological and aboveground APE. This narrow review within an overly circumscribed 

geographic area is not supported by CEQ guidance, which provides that: 

When analyzing the contribution of this proposed action to cumulative effects, . . . 

the geographic boundaries of the analysis almost always should be expanded. These 

expanded boundaries can be thought of as differences in hierarchy or scale. Projectspecific analyses are usually conducted on the scale of counties, forest management 

units, or installation boundaries, whereas cumulative effects analysis should be 

conducted on the scale of human communities, landscapes, watersheds or airsheds.4

This guidance makes it clear that cumulative effects review should not be limited to an APE 

established to consider direct effects. A more appropriate scale of review for indirect and 

cumulative effects of this project would include the entire Shockoe Bottom area, including 

several city blocks where development is likely to be induced as a result of the expanded 

access to passenger rail created by the Project. 

At the recent consultation meeting, the FRA explained that the agency usually considers

only development projects that are “planned and funded” when reviewing cumulative 

effects. This “planned-and-funded” approach is not supported by NEPA regulations or 

guidance documents. In fact, CEQ guidance explicitly warns agencies against this approach 

and states:

Commonly, analysts [evaluating reasonably foreseeable future actions] only 

include those plans for actions which are funded or for which other NEPA 

analysis is being prepared. This approach does not meet the letter or 

 

3 The Council on Environmental Equality (CEQ) has also developed useful guidance for 

agencies in better understanding NEPA’s requirement to consider cumulative effects. See 

generally, CEQ, “Considering Cumulative Effects Under the Environmental Policy Act” 

(January 1997), available at http://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/

nepapub/nepa_documents/RedDont/G-CEQ-ConsidCumulEffects.pdf.

intent of CEQ’s regulations. It underestimates the number of future 

projects, because many viable actions may be in the early planning stage.5

Court decisions addressing this issue have also generally concluded that reasonably 

foreseeable future actions need to be considered, even if they are not specific proposals. See, 

e.g., Scientists’ Inst. for Public Information, Inc. v. Atomic Energy Comm’n, 481 F.2d 79, 

1079 (D.C. Cir. 1973) (finding that “reasonable forecasting” is implicit in NEPA, and it is the 

responsibility of federal agencies to predict the environmental effects of proposed actions 

before they are fully known). A cumulative effects analysis should incorporate information 

from planning documents prepared by other federal agencies, state and local governments, 

private development proposals, and projected development trends in the appropriate 

geographic area. Guidance on transit-oriented development about what types and scale of 

development is induced around transit upgrades is widely available and should be 

consulted.6

For this Project, where the community-generated proposal for a Memorial Park is well 

known to the reviewing agency, the cumulative effects review should consider how the 

Project may impact these plans. Increasing the availability of passenger rail will draw 

increasing numbers of people to Main Street Station and Shockoe Bottom. That will tend to 

spur additional commercial development in or around Shockoe Bottom. This development 

has a high likelihood of causing cumulative adverse effects to the historic resources in 

Shockoe Bottom unless it is carefully considered and managed. A full consideration of 

indirect and cumulative effects for the Project is essential to ensure that efforts to avoid, 

minimize or mitigate harms are effective in protecting resources like Lumpkin’s Slave Jail 

and the African Burial Ground in Shockoe Bottom. 

Additional Consultation is Required

The National Trust is seriously concerned about the potential direct, indirect and 

cumulative adverse effects of the Project on the historic resources in Shockoe Bottom. As a 

result, the National Trust strongly disagrees with the absence of any effect determinations 

at all for Lumpkin’s Slave Jail and the African Burial Ground. The National Trust also 

believes that the cumulative adverse effects on historic resources in Shockoe Bottom must 

be considered. Because of the deficiencies in the materials addressing adverse effects 

provided to date, the National Trust strenuously objects to each and every recommended 

determination of no adverse effect made by the FRA. 

The National Trust respectfully requests that the FRA address in writing the concerns

raised in this letter. We further request an opportunity to meet in person at Shockoe Bottom 

for a consulting party meeting that includes representatives from the City of Richmond, 

Virginia Department of Historic Resources, and, especially, from Richmond’s African 

American and descendant community. We would be pleased to help make introductions to 

facilitate such a meeting.

Phase IB Archeology Survey

While Area 1 is highly developed, that does not eliminate the potential for archeological resources to exist. In fact, intact archeological resources have been

discovered in the vicinity of Long Bridge on NPS land. For this reason, it would be helpful to confirm if the project corridor/APE is aligned with the existing rightof-way and determine if the limits of disturbance for the Preferred Alternative will stay within previously disturbed soils.

 No archeological testing occurred in Areas 1 and 2a, which are located adjacent to GWMP lands. The report states these locations have been previously

disturbed and did not warrant testing. These conclusions for archeological potential were partly based off of 2015 Phase IA and 2016 Phase IB surveys, as well

as a predictive model. I do not recall these materials being previously provided to the park. Would it be possible to request copies? It would be helpful to see

what additional research and analysis was conducted that led the project team to these conclusions.

A couple of notes:

- Per regulations set forth in the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), the archaeological report cannot be disseminated to anyone who is not a consulting party

as this report contains site data that is not for public distribution. If you know of someone who is not a consulting party and has questions on archaeological sites, please feel

free to pass on my name and contact info and I'm happy to help!

- These five reports include information that was not included in the previous 17 reports that you reviewed last year. This includes areas that were not part of the limits of

disturbance at that time, areas associated with the preferred alternative, and intensive-level architectural studies on some of the resources along the alignment to render

National Register determinations where needed. If you have any questions on why a resource was/was not included, just ask.

- Please have your comments to me by July 2, 2018. We are extending this deadline past 30 days so that you can attend one of the consulting party meetings and ask any

questions you may have, if you have not asked them in advance via telephone or email. You are more than welcome to submit comments any time before July 2, but we would

like to present a cut-off date to help things along.

- Lastly, I've heard from one group that they cannot access Dropbox. I can definitely accommodate any others who may need the documents transferred in another way. 

I am absolutely available to talk any time about these reports or the cultural resource process in general. Email or call me (kbarile@dovetailcrg.com/540-899-9170). Have

-For the portion of the project area adjacent to GWMP lands, the DEIS states work will be confined to the existing right of way and include the addition of two new tracks (to

match the Long Bridge project alignment), installation of new culverts under the rail alignments, new stormwater management facilities, and the installation of additional signal

and communication facilities. 

Regarding the last portion, we are curious to know if any of the new signal or communication facilities will be visible from NPS lands, as well as if any vegetation clearing is

required for their installation. Additionally, any potential vegetation clearing has the potential to increase the visibility of railway related infrastructure. In order to maintain the

character and feeling of the scenic parkway, we work closely with our neighbors to avoid and minimize any visual impacts to the greatest extent possible. While GWMP

Resource Management staff is generally in agreement regarding the project's No Adverse Effect determination for the GWMP/MVMH, we also want to make sure any potential

visual impacts are also identified and included in this assessment. 

-The American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) notes that Dovetail’s 2018 technical reports and list of historic properties incorporated all of the battlefields

intersecting the APE that ABPP noted in November 2017, apart from ones outside of the limits of disturbance (LOD) for the preferred alternative. ABPP appreciates the

consideration of all nine relevant battlefields.

-ABPP is concerned that none of the technical reports discuss individual battlefields as cultural resources holistically from a cultural landscape perspective, as recommended

in National Register Bulletin 40: Guidelines for Identifying, Evaluating, and Registering America’s Historic Battlefields. Specifically, there is no discussion of methodology

for assessing indirect effects on battlefields (e.g. visual and auditory) or evaluation of the current integrity of setting and feeling of individual battlefields. Additionally,

adverse effects to archeological resources within battlefield boundaries (such as Jackson’s Earthwork [44SP0468]) should be considered in the overall determination of

effect on the battlefields. ABPP feels that there is insufficient documentation supporting the proposed determination of no adverse effect on the nine battlefields within the

LOD.

- In previous comments, ABPP has recommended that this documentation should consist of KOCOA military terrain analysis and/or a cultural landscape report on the

relationship between the historic railways of the Civil War and the battlefields in order to determine extant defining features. Documenting both historical and current

conditions is necessary to determine whether the addition of a third track and increased rail service could substantially change the historic setting or eligibility of these

battlefields under Criterion A. If already considered in discussions with VDHR, ABPP requests more information about how these questions were addressed in the

determinations of effect.

-ABPP appreciates that metal detection was conducted as part of archeological survey in all parts of the APE for direct effects that intersected with battlefield Potential

National Register (PotNR) boundaries, and considers this approach sufficient at this stage of the project. ABPP recommends that in future studies, the larger Battlefield

Boundary (also available from VCRIS) be used instead of the PotNR. When using the PotNR for Section 106 compliance projects, “the PotNR cannot be assumed to be the

equivalent to an area that has had adequate National Historic Preservation Act, Section 110 or Section 106 identification, assessment and evaluation... Appropriate use of

the ABPP mapping resources should be limited to informing the research design and not limiting the boundaries to the narrows of what is seen by visual evaluation” (ABPP

2016 Battlefield Survey Manual, p. 33).

Re: Washington, D.C. to Richmond High Speed Rail Project

Project Effect Recommendation dated June 20, 2018 

Dear Ms. Stock and Ms. Barile:

Thank you for the opportunity to offer our comments regarding the Project Effects Determinations for 

the Washington, D.C. to Richmond High Speed Rail Project (Project) included in your correspondence 

dated June 20, 2018 (Effects Determination Letter). We and other community partners have been 

involved with the greater Shockoe Bottom discussion since the area that was the center of the slave 

trade was threatened with erasure by new development. Since then, we have helped convene myriad 

public meetings and design charrettes to ascertain the wishes of the community for this area, the result 

of which is a proposed 9-acre Plan for a Memorial Park. 

As our partner in this work and as sponsor of further study of the Shockoe Bottom area planned as part 

of a recently-announced $75,000 grant, we share the concerns enumerated by the National Trust for 

Historic Preservation in their letter submitted July 20, 2018. While we are certainly supportive of 

expanded rail service for the City of Richmond and improvements to the DC2RVA corridor, we are also 

concerned about the narrow scope of the APE for this project. The Lumpkin’s Jail and Burial Ground sites 

should be included in the APE for the project since they would suffer an adverse effect caused by 

development induced by the rail expansion. This development also could interrupt plans for the 

memorial park and incentivize inappropriate development unless careful economic planning is put into 

place. 

The historic significance of all of Shockoe Bottom needs to be better understood. To that end, we also

support the inclusion of Mason Hall (one of our 2017 Virginia’s Most Endangered Historic Places listings) 

as a potentially-affected historic property in the APE. Evaluation of the area’s National Register eligibility 

as a Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) and surveying the area completely to identify the boundaries of 

what should be a larger archaeological district would be appropriate next steps. There is much to be 

learned about Richmond’s role in the slave trade; as such, the area potentially affected by the Project 

extends well beyond the currently-defined limits. 
Preservation Virginia would like to see additional consultation opportunities as well, including a meeting 

on site and greater involvement of the descendant community. These actions will help ensure that the 

resources of Shockoe Bottom are adequately taken into account as the Section 106 conversations move 

into discussions about how to minimize and mitigate the Project’s adverse effects.

Thanks Mark! This makes perfect sense. Working with the Fburg folks on this and I will also be sure to word this in a way that the interpretation can be flexible to fit public

Thanks again so much for coming to the meeting the other week for DC2RVA rail! I wanted to check back in on mitigation for impacts to war-related resources, as discussed

at the meeting. It sounded like you all were fairly comfortable with the rough mitigation as suggested so long as we add a couple of public outreach components, namely

interpretive signs and publication of an article and/or presentation of a public talk on the results. Would this work? Anything else to add? I'm compiling all feedback and

thoughts so we can move forward with a few steps. 

If feedback is easier by phone, just let me know and we can set up a call. Happy to!

Thanks so much,

Kerri

Thanks! I'm going to put that in as mitigation for the RF&P RR so in this case, it's not "either/or" for Fredericksburg but "and" as you will have info in the story map as well as the

other mitigation items if that works? That seems to make the most sense to me as the story map will be corridor wide, and the RF&P covers about 90% of the corridor.

Hi Kerri, Erik,

I think that would be smart to phrase the MOA to give us some flexibility on display so we don’t miss the opportunity if timing with the new station doesn’t

work well. I’m tempted by the opportunity to include the nomination for the HD expansion, because I know that will likely not happen anytime soon

otherwise. However, I think the context on the evolution of the railway system is very valuable and would give us some good opportunities for

interpretation, so I’d rather keep that in.

Where will the great idea about creating a story map go in all this? Rather than including the creation of a narrative for use in developing a webpage, we might refer to inclusion in a story map here and the allowance that any materials created for Fredericksburg in a story map could be used by us separately

as well (i.e. if we wanted to create our own story map or webpage).

Thanks, Kerri!

Thanks Erik. I can phrase the MOA to state that the display should be placed in a location approved by the City as well as DRPT. Maybe that will open up venues? The new

station totally makes sense but if for some reason that is delayed, it still provides the City with options so that mitigation stipulation doesn't "go away." Would that work?

Kerri,

I will defer to what Kate wants to do, but have some quesons. First, where would an arfact display go? I think we had assumed there would be something in the

new staon, but that could be a while. If the staon is the proper venue, displaying the arfacts within the broader context of the railway in Fredericksburg could be

compelling. The HD expansion nominaon is not my call.

Hi Erik and Kate!

Thank you again for coming to the meeting a couple of weeks ago for the DC2RVA rail project. I wanted to touch base about the mitigation for the six adversely effected

resources in Fredericksburg. By chance have you had a moment to ponder the preliminary thoughts I passed around? When we met, you had suggested adding an artifact

display to the mitigation for the three archaeological sites. The other topic that came up was a nomination for the HD expansion. Would you prefer to see that in lieu of the

historic context on the evolution of the rail system in Fredericksburg, as currently listed as mitigation for the District? Let me know your thoughts!

If it is easier to do a quick follow-up call, we can certainly do that too. 

Thanks!

Kerri

Hello Consulng Pares,

Thank you for your connued input on the DC2RVA rail project. As we menoned a few weeks ago, we have set three consulng party meengs in October to connue

our dialogue on cultural resources along the project corridor. These meengs will include a general project update, discussion on historic properes and project effects,

and dialogues on ways that any adverse effects can be migated. The focus of each meeng will be the general region where the meeng is held but all historic

properes within the corridor are open for discussion.

October 4, 1:30pm-3:00pm= In-person meeng at Dovetail Cultural Resource Group in Fredericksburg (11905 Bowman Drive, Suite 502). A call-in number will also be

available for those who cannot aend and distributed prior to the meeng.

October 5, 10:00am-11:30am= In-person meeng at Parsons in Washington, DC (100 M Street SE, Suite 1200). A call-in number will also be available for those who

cannot aend and distributed prior to the meeng.

October 12, 10:00am-12:00pm= On-site meeng at Main Street Staon in Shockoe Boom, Richmond (1500 E. Main Street). Gather in the lobby. Since this is an on-site meeng and tour, no call-in number will be established. Note that addional groups outside of the formal consulng party roster have been invited to this meeng to

assure parcipaon from all vested pares.

We hope you are able to join us for one or more of these meengs. Please let me know if you can aend. If you are unable to parcipate, we also encourage wrien

comments, which can be sent to me via email or standard mail at the Dovetail office. I am also always free for a call to discuss any ideas and issues you may want to

share (540-899-9170). Emily Stock at DRPT (cc'd here) can address general project quesons as well.

Hope to see you soon!

Memo

DATE: OCTOBER 6, 2018

TO: CONSULTING PARTIES AND INTERESTED PUBLIC

FROM: NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION

RE: DC2RVA RAIL EXPANSION PROJECT / SHOCKOE BOTTOM MEMORIAL PARK

The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a private non-profit organization,

offers the following information in advance of the October 12, 2018 on-site 

consulting parties meeting about the federal DC2RVA rail expansion project in 

historic Shockoe Bottom. The National Trust does not oppose the DC2RVA rail 

expansion project. However, we recognize that expansion of the Main Street 

Station for the DC2RVA project has the potential to lead to intensive new transitoriented development. These changes are reasonably foreseeable and must be 

managed in thoughtful ways that protect the cultural, historic, and archaeological

values of Shockoe Bottom. 

Federal Agency Consultation to Avoid Harm to Historic Resources in 

Shockoe Bottom

The federal National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies to

consider the impacts that the agencies’ undertakings will have on historic 

resources. The Act created a procedure (called Section 106 consultation) for 

agencies to follow that requires the agencies to consult to “avoid, minimize or 

mitigate” harms to historic resources. This obligation only applies to historic 

resources that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of 

Historic Places, the nation’s official list of historic resources worthy of 

preservation. 

The Federal Railroad Administration (F.R.A.) – with the Virginia Dept. of Rail and 

Public Transportation – is currently conducting Section 106 consultation for the 

DC2RVA rail expansion project. One important aspect of Section 106 is the 

requirement that federal agencies consult with the public and interested parties 

(called “consulting parties”). The F.R.A. is convening an on-site consultation 

meeting in Shockoe Bottom on October 12 to satisfy this obligation. Section 106 

requires the federal agency to complete a set of sequential steps: 

1. Identify any consulting parties and the interested public; 

2. Gather information to identify potentially affected historic properties, and 

identify an Area of Potential Effects (the “A.P.E.”) for the undertaking; 

3. Determine whether the agency’s undertaking would have adverse effects 

on these historic properties; and,

4. Explore ways for the agency to avoid, minimize or mitigate such adverse 

effects. 

DC2RVA Rail Expansion Project at Main Street Station in Shockoe Bottom

For the DC2RVA rail project, the F.R.A. has identified historic resources along the 

entire railroad corridor from DC to Richmond – and in Richmond’s historic 

Shockoe Bottom. To guide the agency’s identification process, the F.R.A.

established an Area of Potential Effects of 500 feet from the center line of the rail 

for above-ground historic resources and an A.P.E. of 50 to 100 feet from the 

center of the rail corridor for archaeological resources. This means that the F.R.A.

is only considering impacts to historic sites that fall within these defined A.P.E. 

boundaries. 

Importantly, the F.R.A. also has determined to treat the African Burial Ground and 

the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail Site solely as archaeological resources. The F.R.A.’s 

approach to the African Burial Ground and the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail Site puts 

these two sites outside of the Area of Potential Effects for the DC2RVA project, 

which means that the F.R.A. has determined that it is not necessary for the F.R.A.

to consider ways to “avoid, minimize or mitigate” any adverse effects to the 

African Burial Ground and the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail Site that may be caused, for 

example, by intensive transit-oriented development in Shockoe Bottom. 

To persuade the Federal Rail Administration – and the Virginia Dept. of Rail and 

Public Transportation – to fully consider the broader context and significance of 

Shockoe Bottom and to fully consider the impacts that increased transit-oriented 

development are likely to have on the historic and cultural values of Shockoe 

Bottom, it is necessary to convince the F.R.A. that the African Burial Ground and 

the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail Site are not just historically significant as archaeological 

sites, but that Shockoe Bottom also is eligible for the National Register of Historic 

Places as an above-ground type of historic resource. The concept that the 

National Trust believes best accomplishes this goal is called a Traditional Cultural 

Property (or “T.C.P.”). 

Shockoe Bottom as a Traditional Cultural Property

A Traditional Cultural Property is a type of historic resource that can be 

determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places when it is 

associated "with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community that (a) are 

rooted in that community's history, and (b) are important in maintaining the 

continuing cultural identity of the community." 

From everything we have learned from our allies in the community, the National 

Trust believes that Shockoe Bottom is rooted in Richmond’s history and is 
1785 Massachusetts Avenue NW Washington, DC 20036 

E rnieweg@savingplaces.org P 202.588.6107 F 202.588.6272 www.PreservationNation.org

important today to maintaining the continuing cultural identity of Richmond’s 

African American and descendant community. Examples of other historic places 

that have been officially determined to be Traditional Cultural Properties include: 

many Native American sacred sites around the nation; historic places that are 

connected with immigrant populations, such as a riverfront in Florida that is part of 

a Greek community focused on sponge diving; and, a church in Louisiana 

associated with the Cane River Creoles of Color community. 

The National Trust believes that Shockoe Bottom fits comfortably within this 

category of historic resource as a Traditional Cultural Property because of the 

value placed by the community and because of the continued relevance of 

Shockoe Bottom to the descendant community -- as well as Shockoe Bottom’s 

remarkable connections to the esteemed Virginia Union University. 

Conclusion: Advocacy for Shockoe Bottom

First, the National Trust hopes the Federal Railroad Administration and the 

Virginia Dept. of Rail and Public Transportation will hear from consulting parties 

and the interested public that:

▪ Shockoe Bottom needs additional archaeological study, but the place is 

significant for more than what can be learned from archaeological 

exploration alone. 

▪ Shockoe Bottom is important to communities today as sacred ground. 

▪ Shockoe Bottom should be evaluated as a Traditional Cultural Property to 

determine its eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic 

Places.

▪ Shockoe Bottom deserves to have full consideration of all the potential 

impacts that intensive transit-oriented development, induced by the 

DC2RVA rail project, may cause to the Richmond community’s plans to 

memorialize and interpret the site.

▪ The Federal Rail Administration must take meaningful steps to minimize 

and mitigate these impacts to Shockoe Bottom as a part of the rail 

expansion project. 

Second, the National Trust intends to convey to the agencies that:

▪ Shockoe Bottom is a National Treasure of even international significance. 
1785 Massachusetts Avenue NW Washington, DC 20036 

E rnieweg@savingplaces.org P 202.588.6107 F 202.588.6272 www.PreservationNation.org

▪ For Richmond’s African American and descendant community and their 

allies, Shockoe Bottom is valued as sacred ground. It is an archaeological, 

historical, and cultural site. For a generation and more, Richmond's African 

American community has endeavored to tell Shockoe's stories and has 

struggled to restore the place, notably the accomplishments of Delegate 

Delores McQuinn and the Richmond Slave Trail Commission as well as 

the Sacred Ground Project.

▪ For the community, Shockoe Bottom is envisioned to be a place of 

commemoration, reflection, and education. It is envisioned as a cultural 

heritage destination, and as a Site of Conscience for truth and 

reconciliation. Through collaboration, Mayor Levar Stoney, with Delegate 

McQuinn, Councilwoman Cynthia Newbille and many others, is leading 

this transformation. 

▪ Nevertheless, there is serious public concern that the Federal Rail 

Administration unintentionally will fail to acknowledge the importance of 

the place. It is essential for the leaders of the DC2RVA rail expansion 

project to protect historic Shockoe Bottom.

Re: Washington, D.C. to Richmond High Speed Rail Project

Dear Ms. Stock and Ms. Barile:

The National Trust for Historic Preservation and Preservation Virginia appreciated the

opportunity to participate in the in-person meeting regarding the Washington, D.C. to 

Richmond High Speed Rail Project (Project) in Richmond this October, as well as the 

conference call to discuss project effect recommendations earlier this month. We continue

to appreciate the need for, and generally support the addition of, increased passenger rail 

capacity that this Project is intended to provide. Our goal in participating as a consulting 

party for this Project has continued to be to ensure that the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) carefully considers the Project’s impacts to the cultural resources in

Richmond’s Shockoe Bottom -- including but not limited to Lumpkin’s Slave Jail/Devil’s 

Half Acre Site and the African Burial Ground -- in conducting the Section 106 consultation 

for this undertaking. 

This letter briefly summarizes the National Trust and Preservation Virginia’s response to 

the FRA’s correspondence regarding recommendations of adverse effect for the Project

dated November 13, 2018.

Lumpkin’s Slave Jail /Devil’s Half Acre Site

We agree with and appreciates FRA’s decision to recommend the Lumpkin’s Slave 

Jail/Devil’s Half Acre Site as eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion A in 

addition to Criterion D. This is a positive step towards recognizing the importance of this 

site, and of the Greater Shockoe Bottom area, as well as its significance for more than only 

archaeological resources that are valuable for data recovery. As noted in the National 
2

Trust’s letter dated July 20, 2018, archaeological sites within Shockoe Bottom have in-place

significance that make the resources’ setting, feeling and association important aspects to 

maintaining their integrity.

Shockoe Bottom as a Traditional Cultural Property

In the FRA’s correspondence of November 17, 2018, the agency states that based on the 

data currently available and gathered as a part of this Section 106 consultation, FRA has 

determined that the Shockoe area does not qualify as a TCP. This opinion was confirmed 

during the recent consulting parties’ call where representatives from the Department of 

Historic Resources (DHR) and FRA stated that there currently is not enough information 

available to determine whether the African Burial Ground, the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail/Devil’s 

Half Acre Site, or other areas within Shockoe Bottom are eligible for listing in the National 

Register as part of a Traditional Cultural Property (TCP).1 To make this type of 

determination would require intensive community engagement and significant additional 

research, in particular ethnographic studies to determine the continuing historic 

significance of the site. We continue to believe that the area is likely eligible for listing on 

the National Register as a TCP, but acknowledge that there is insufficient information 

currently available to make this determination. However, even without this formal 

recognition, Shockoe Bottom remains hallowed ground for many in the African American 

and descendant community. We suggest that further exploration of the TCP concept is 

certainly warranted and should be considered in making decisions regarding appropriate 

mitigation projects as discussed below. 

Mitigation for Adverse Effects on Historic Resources in Shockoe Bottom

We have reviewed FRA’s preliminary list of mitigation ideas and appreciate the opportunity 

to comment. We suggest that FRA consider funding: community engagement and 

ethnographic research regarding the current significance of the Greater Shockoe Bottom 

area to the African American and descendant community; additional archaeological 

research in Shockoe Bottom to evaluate whether the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail/Devil’s Half Acre 

Site and the African Burial Ground are part of a potential archaeological district; and 

funding to complete a multiple property nomination for the slave trade in Shockoe Bottom. 

For all of these ideas, we suggest that consulting parties and the public be deeply involved in 

project development. 

 

1 The Lumpkin’s Slave Jail/Devil’s Half Acre Site and African Burial Ground sites hold 

cultural importance for the African American community and for descendants of enslaved 

people who were imprisoned, sold, and buried in Shockoe Bottom. A TCP is a site associated 

“with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community that (a) are rooted in that 

community’s history, and (b) are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity 

of the community.” National Register Bulletin 38.

The National Trust and Preservation Virginia appreciate FRA’s willingness to share 

information throughout this process. We look forward to reviewing the proposed 

Memorandum of Agreement for the Project in the coming weeks. 

Sincerely,

Sharee Williamson

Hello all,

I hope you had a great holiday!

Thank you all, again, for your continued participation in the DC2RVA rail cultural resource process. Your feedback has been invaluable! I wanted to provide a brief update and

share some documents to you for your review.

Since our last set of meetings this fall and our subsequent emails and calls, we have continued to refine the list of historic properties along the corridor and work with the

FRA/DRPT/DHR/ACHP to determine effects. A final effect determination was received from the DHR, and thus a final roster of historic properties (n=120) and their respective

effects is attached for your reference. Most of the details of this roster have been shared with you over the past several months. This list includes all remaining requests from

consulting parties and reflects the final determinations.

Concurrently, we have been working on a project Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) which outlines steps to mitigate the adverse effects to 21 resources along the corridor. A

preliminary mitigation list was sent around and discussed during our meetings/emails/calls, and the list of mitigations has been refined based on your incredible feedback. Your

requested changes are reflected in the MOA. The document is currently under review by the signatories (FRA, DRPT, ACHP, and DHR), but we also wanted to send it to our

consulting parties for your comments. I've attached the MOA here as well as a summary table that can be used as a "cheat sheet" to see all of the mitigations in one place. This

excel sheet also notes the mitigations that were added or expanded based on your feedback from the original roster. 

We request that you take a look at the MOA by January 25th and email us your comments. As always, I'm here to answer any questions or just chat process!

Again, my sincere thanks for your contributions to date!

Best,

Kerri

Hey there,

Just a quick reminder that comments on the draft of the DC2RVA MOA are technically due tomorrow, January 25th. I say "technically" because our NPS friends have not been

able to review the document due to the furlough. As such, the comment deadline is flexible but the sooner you can provide feedback, the better, as it will allow a more

thorough review of comments and inclusion in the next version of the document. 

As always, if you have questions, I'm here to help! Emily Stock is also happy to answer any larger project questions you may have too.

Thanks so much!

Hello all,

I hope you had a great holiday!

Thank you all, again, for your continued participation in the DC2RVA rail cultural resource process. Your feedback has been invaluable! I wanted to provide a brief update and

share some documents to you for your review.

Since our last set of meetings this fall and our subsequent emails and calls, we have continued to refine the list of historic properties along the corridor and work with the

FRA/DRPT/DHR/ACHP to determine effects. A final effect determination was received from the DHR, and thus a final roster of historic properties (n=120) and their respective

effects is attached for your reference. Most of the details of this roster have been shared with you over the past several months. This list includes all remaining requests from

consulting parties and reflects the final determinations.

Concurrently, we have been working on a project Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) which outlines steps to mitigate the adverse effects to 21 resources along the corridor. A

preliminary mitigation list was sent around and discussed during our meetings/emails/calls, and the list of mitigations has been refined based on your incredible feedback.

Your requested changes are reflected in the MOA. The document is currently under review by the signatories (FRA, DRPT, ACHP, and DHR), but we also wanted to send it to

our consulting parties for your comments. I've attached the MOA here as well as a summary table that can be used as a "cheat sheet" to see all of the mitigations in one

place. This excel sheet also notes the mitigations that were added or expanded based on your feedback from the original roster. 

We request that you take a look at the MOA by January 25th and email us your comments. As always, I'm here to answer any questions or just chat process!

Again, my sincere thanks for your contributions to date!

Best,

Kerri

Many thanks for sharing, Kerri.

The draft MOA and approach to mitigation outlined therein are in keeping with the comments previously submitted by the Trust in this regard (including our

most recent comment letter submitted on June 28, 2018, in combination with related follow-up comments submitted via e-mail on October 17, 2018 — copies

of both of which are attached).

Thank you again for your consistent outreach to us on this project — and please continue to keep us up-to-date moving forward.

Dovetail Cultural Resource Group

11905 Bowman Drive

Suite 502

Fredericksburg, VA 22408

Dear Dr. Barile:

I am writing on behalf of the American Battlefield Trust (“the Trust”), a nonprofit, 

nonpartisan organization dedicated to preserving America’s hallowed battlegrounds and 

educating the public about what happened there and why it matters today. To date, the Trust

has protected more than 50,000 acres associated with the Revolutionary War, War of 1812

and Civil War in 24 states, including 25,652 acres in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

With this letter, the Trust seeks to follow up on the “Project Update & Effect Discussion with 

Consulting Parties” hosted by the Washington, D.C., to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 

(DC2RVA) project team in Richmond on June 21, 2018. We appreciate your continued 

consultation with the Trust and our partners in preservation as the DC2RVA project has 

advanced; this letter is the third in a series of comments that the Trust has provided since the 

project’s commencement (with previous letters dated June 22, 2015, and November 3, 2017).

The project team’s ongoing evaluation of potential impacts to battlefields and related 

resources — as well as the proactive way in which the team has conducted its outreach to

consulting parties and stakeholders — have been welcomed by the Trust. During our most 

recent meeting with the DC2RVA team in Richmond, the Trust took advantage of the 

opportunity to ask the team a number of questions, with none more important than our 

inquiry confirming whether or not the primary, battlefields-centered finding of the project’s 

Tier II Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS) continues to hold true.

Pg. 4-155 of the Draft EIS, which was received by the Trust in 2017, asserts the following:

“Based on preliminary dialogues with DHR [the Virginia Department of Historic Resources], 

the Project would have No Adverse Effect on any of the 11 battlefields within the APE [Area 

of Potential Effects].” We are grateful to the project team for its assurance at this month’s

gathering that it remains the case that no battlefield in the APE is to be adversely affected, as 

well as for efforts taken by the project team — and subsequently described to the Trust — to 

successfully ensure that desired rail improvements in the vicinity of the Trust’s Slaughter Pen 

Farm property in Spotsylvania County will not exceed existing right-of-way onto land 

previously preserved by the Trust or the National Park Service (NPS).

The Trust was likewise pleased to receive confirmation from the DC2RVA team that it 

remains in close contact regarding this project with NPS — in particular, with NPS personnel 
Letter from the American Battlefield Trust (continued)

both at the American Battlefield Protection Program as well as at individual parks 

throughout the project area, such as Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military 

Park. It is appropriate to reiterate here a request which the Trust has made previously: If the 

determination that neither the Slaughter Pen Farm nor any of the battlefields within the 

project’s APE will be subject to adverse effect as a result of the project is revised or otherwise 

revisited at any point, the Trust requests immediate notification of this fact as well as the 

opportunity to consult with the DC2RVA team at the earliest possible time thereafter.

We appreciate your notification regarding the pair of historic properties connected to the 

Civil War upon which DHR has determined the DC2RVA project will have an adverse effect: 

the “Civil War Campsite” in Stafford County (DHR ID 44ST1223) and the “Earthwork” in 

Spotsylvania County (DHR ID 44SP0468). The Trust encourages the DC2RVA team to 

collaborate jointly with NPS, DHR, Civil War Trails as well as the Trust’s own historians at 

the appropriate time to determine an ideal approach to interpreting these sites which could 

serve to mitigate the project’s expected impacts. Particularly given the earthwork’s location

— as well as what the DC2RVA team notes is its “notable connection to military actions 

during the war” — we believe that both it and the Stafford campsite (“one of many Union 

army winter encampments in the area ... during the winter of 1862-1863”) hold important 

stories that such mitigative interpretation could assist in illuminating for Virginians and 

Virginia’s many visitors alike.

Once again, the Trust looks forward to receiving and reviewing continued project updates 

from the DC2RVA team in the months ahead. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly 

with any questions at (202) 367-1861, and thank you for the opportunity to provide these 

updated comments on DC2RVA’s progress to date.

Sincerely,

O. James Lighthizer, President

Thanks, Kerri. 

As we commented in June and sought to underscore at the meeting earlier this month, those of us at the Trust 

believe that the “historic properties connected to the Civil War upon which DHR has determined the DC2RVA 

project will have an adverse effect ... hold important stories that ... mitigative interpretation could assist in 

illuminating for Virginians and Virginia’s many visitors alike.” 

Interpretive signage is certainly one option — but we encourage the DC2RVA team to consult directly with the 

officials at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park on whether this is indeed the best option, 

particularly at site 44SP0468. John Hennessy, Eric Mink and team will likely have a good sense of what would 

be ideal and may be able to suggest a path forward wherein the new interpretation could be seamlessly woven 

into the park’s existing interpretative offerings. 

The Trust’s primary interest is in ensuring that the form of interpretation pursued is one that the public will be 

able to readily access and appreciate. 

Thanks again for your ongoing outreach and associated efforts on this front. 

Yours, 

Mark

Hi there, 
2

Thanks again so much for coming to the meeting the other week for DC2RVA rail! I wanted to check back in on 

mitigation for impacts to war-related resources, as discussed at the meeting. It sounded like you all were fairly 

comfortable with the rough mitigation as suggested so long as we add a couple of public outreach components, namely 

interpretive signs and publication of an article and/or presentation of a public talk on the results. Would this work? 

Anything else to add? I'm compiling all feedback and thoughts so we can move forward with a few steps. 

If feedback is easier by phone, just let me know and we can set up a call. Happy to! 

Thanks so much, 

Kerri

Kerri,

I wasn’t going to respond figuring you would understand The Ashland Museum is OK with summary you sent since we had worked it out with you. After reading through ACHP

edits, I don’t want silence to be interpreted as disinterest in the communications or opting out of any communications.

Thank you for working with us on the Berkleytown modification. We note the addition and we are fine with the mitigation summary as it pertains to Berkleytown.

As it is apparent that both ACHP and NTHP have done a knowledgable review of the MOA, The Ashland Museum, a Consulting Party, adds our name to their comments and

concerns.

Thanks.

The next meeng date of the Hanover County Historical Commission is February 19

th

; I will share the MOA then. I have reviewed the MOA and it represents the migaon

discussed previously. I do have one queson: There are references to the Hanover County Historical Society, the first of which is in the paragraph stang they were asked

to parcipate but did not respond. So, in later paragraphs regarding the migaon proposed for the Doswell Historic District, should the references be to the Historical

Commission since they are the historical organizaon with Hanover that did review the project?

Subject: DC2RVA Rail/Dra MOA for review

Hello all,

I hope you had a great holiday!

Thank you all, again, for your continued participation in the DC2RVA rail cultural resource process. Your feedback has been invaluable! I wanted to provide a brief update and

share some documents to you for your review.

Since our last set of meetings this fall and our subsequent emails and calls, we have continued to refine the list of historic properties along the corridor and work with the

FRA/DRPT/DHR/ACHP to determine effects. A final effect determination was received from the DHR, and thus a final roster of historic properties (n=120) and their respective

effects is attached for your reference. Most of the details of this roster have been shared with you over the past several months. This list includes all remaining requests from

consulting parties and reflects the final determinations.

Concurrently, we have been working on a project Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) which outlines steps to mitigate the adverse effects to 21 resources along the corridor. A

preliminary mitigation list was sent around and discussed during our meetings/emails/calls, and the list of mitigations has been refined based on your incredible feedback. Your

requested changes are reflected in the MOA. The document is currently under review by the signatories (FRA, DRPT, ACHP, and DHR), but we also wanted to send it to our

consulting parties for your comments. I've attached the MOA here as well as a summary table that can be used as a "cheat sheet" to see all of the mitigations in one place. This

excel sheet also notes the mitigations that were added or expanded based on your feedback from the original roster. 

We request that you take a look at the MOA by January 25th and email us your comments. As always, I'm here to answer any questions or just chat process!

Again, my sincere thanks for your contributions to date!

Best,

Kerri

In general, we agree with the comments from the ACHP stating that there is a need to provide greater clarity throughout the document on how mitigation measures will be

Dear Kerri,

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) has completed its review of the Draft Memorandum of Agreement among the Federal Railroad Administration, the

Virginia Historic Preservation Office, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation Regarding the

Washington, D.C. to Richmond, Virginia Southeast High Speed Rail Project submitted to ACHP via email on January 22, 2019.

This is a comprehensive Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and it contains a good process for addressing the undertaking’s adverse effects. Our comments generally

focus on clarifying roles and responsibilities, ensuring consistency in the administrative stipulations with our guidance, and addressing the applicability of design guidelines

for any new construction in or near historic properties. We have provided our comments, insertions, and red line edits in the attached Word document.

We understand FRA’s desire to move forward with this agreement. This Section 106 agreement document, therefore, should adhere to our regulations and be

comprehensive so as to avoid the potential for subsequent procedural challenges. Accordingly, we urge FRA to consider revising the agreement document to address all

comments provided by consulting parties. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you,

Sarah

Hey there,

Just a quick reminder that comments on the draft of the DC2RVA MOA are technically due tomorrow, January 25th. I say "technically" because our NPS friends have not

been able to review the document due to the furlough. As such, the comment deadline is flexible but the sooner you can provide feedback, the better, as it will allow a

more thorough review of comments and inclusion in the next version of the document. 

As always, if you have questions, I'm here to help! Emily Stock is also happy to answer any larger project questions you may have too.

Thanks so much!

Hello all,

I hope you had a great holiday!

Thank you all, again, for your continued participation in the DC2RVA rail cultural resource process. Your feedback has been invaluable! I wanted to provide a brief

update and share some documents to you for your review.

Since our last set of meetings this fall and our subsequent emails and calls, we have continued to refine the list of historic properties along the corridor and work with

the FRA/DRPT/DHR/ACHP to determine effects. A final effect determination was received from the DHR, and thus a final roster of historic properties (n=120) and

their respective effects is attached for your reference. Most of the details of this roster have been shared with you over the past several months. This list includes all

remaining requests from consulting parties and reflects the final determinations.

Concurrently, we have been working on a project Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) which outlines steps to mitigate the adverse effects to 21 resources along the

corridor. A preliminary mitigation list was sent around and discussed during our meetings/emails/calls, and the list of mitigations has been refined based on your

incredible feedback. Your requested changes are reflected in the MOA. The document is currently under review by the signatories (FRA, DRPT, ACHP, and DHR), but

we also wanted to send it to our consulting parties for your comments. I've attached the MOA here as well as a summary table that can be used as a "cheat sheet" to

see all of the mitigations in one place. This excel sheet also notes the mitigations that were added or expanded based on your feedback from the original roster. 

We request that you take a look at the MOA by January 25th and email us your comments. As always, I'm here to answer any questions or just chat process!

Again, my sincere thanks for your contributions to date!

Best,

Kerri

Hello Mr. Kirchen;

I am writing to discuss with you some concerns regarding the 1816 Burying Ground for 

Free People of Colour and for Slaves on Shockoe Hill and the Dovetail Phase IB 

archealogical survey report for the high speed rail project. Steve Thompson and I have 

been discussing the project with (especially the burial grounds) with Joanna 

Green. Please feel free to discuss this with Joanna. It is my understanding that you 

are the person that I should talk to in regards to the high speed rail project. One of my 

direct ancestors would have been buried at the location - I mention this to explain my 

interest and connection to the burial grounds. 

I am going to be forwarding to you information and the questions that were being 

asked of Joanna as I would like to direct the questions and information to you. I have 

included Steve Thompson of Rivanna Archaeological Services on this email.

Dovetail's Phase IB archaeological survey report for the high speed rail project and also 

VDHR's letter of concurrence.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o3hhulgwvhxi59q/AAA7w5ToYoF9PxLuCdV3P2CEa?dl=0

cemetery site using its ID (44HE1203)

Would you please clarify DHR's position? Please see the email below to Joanna from 

Steve Thompson:

.......................................................................................................

Joanna,

I've had a chance to look at Dovetail's high speed rail Phase IB report and DHR's 

comments. For clarification, in concurring with Dovetail's conclusion that the cemetery 

(44HE1203) remains "unevaluated as the portions of the site within the project APE are 

minimal" and that "the portion in the APE does not contribute to its overall eligibility," is 

it DHR's position that no further work at the site is warranted prior to future phases of 

the high speed rail project, at least as regards Section 106? The concern solely with 

NRHP eligibility seems sort of odd to me; quite apart from NRHP eligibility, wouldn't the 

project also be required to make a good faith effort to determine whether burials 

survive within the limits of disturbance so as not to be in violation of state law?

Assuming it is accurate, Dovetail's placement of the cemetery in Figure 4-103, Map 2 in 

their report suggests that a considerable portion of the cemetery lay south of presentday Hospital Street. While it is hard to argue with their conclusion that the Hospital 

Street road cut would have removed all evidence of the cemetery within its course and 

in the cut along its north side, it is not clear to me that the same can be said of the 
south side of the street where burial of historic grade under (late 19th - 20th-century?) 

fill seems a possibility.

Mr. Kirchen,

is the rest of the burial grounds that wraps around to the North of the Hebrew Cemetery 

and Alms House being considered in regards to the rail project? Would that area not be 

affected by high speed rail? The burials that took place outside of the walls of the 

Shockoe Hill Cemetery, it is my understanding that those burials were made back there. 

And I believe that the burial ground for people of colour and for slaves was extended 

back to that area. That area near the burial ground and behind the Alms House was 

also the site of the Gallows. Though it appears that black people were executed at or 

near their burial ground. The burials were made right next to where the person was 

hung. Supposedly John and Jane Williams were executed near the Powder Magazine 

according to what I read. 

Yours truly,

Lenora

Email 3: Saturday Dec 22, 6:07pm

Mr. Kirchen,

would you mind looking at this please? I noticed the location of 127-6659 The Powder 

Magazine (historical) below. According to the 1864 Map of the City of Richmond, that is 

not where the Powder Magazine was located in 1864 when it was blown up on 

evacuation day. There was mention in the City Council records that the magazine was 

in need of repair. The specifics were not given in the City Council minutes, but 

according to the maps it seems to me that it was moved to a slightly different 
location. A newspaper account regarding the incident of the explosion states that the 

magazine was somewhat in a ravine. 

Lenora

Email 4: Saturday Dec 22, 7:01pm

Mr. Kirchenthese are examples of just a few of the burials that occurred outside of the Shockoe Hill 

Cemetery Walls. Below are two pages from the Shockoe Hill Cemetery Burial Register. 

To my understanding they would have been buried on the hill behind the Alms House 

and Hebrew Cemetery. Though the place for those burials does not appear on maps. It 

is my understanding that the boundaries of the burial grounds beyond that which is 

behind the cemetery walls have not been established and over time the burial grounds 

were extended. 

12/19/1848 - Jno Madery age 36, Pauper, Buried Outside

12/19/1848 - Mary Thomas's child age 5 days, Buried Outside

12/25/1848 - Jno Madery's infant Child, Buried Outside

12/26/1848 - Daniel Delaney age 45, Buried Outside

01/09/1849 -Ellen Lew age (no age), Buried Outside

1/20/1849 - Mrs. Francis Brown age 66, Buried Outside

Email 5: Monday Dec 24, 9:46am

Mr. Kirchen,

I would like to include a few more maps of the burying ground for you to consider. The 

first is the 1905 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map of the City of Richmond from the Library of 

Congress. It appears according to this map that the railroad tracks were built right on 

top of the burying ground and that the burying ground extends to the north of the 

tracks. One of the questions in my mind is were burials disturbed when the tracks were 

laid, or were the tracks laid right on top of the graves? On the 1876 or 1877 Beers Atlas 

and the Baist Atlas of 1889 the burial ground appears to extend to the edge of Bacon 

Quarter Branch. The tracks were laid south of the Bacon Quarter Branch. I have also 

included two map overlays of the burial grounds from the 1835 and 1877 maps from the 

blog of historical architect Gibsom Worsham. He posted them to Urban Scale 

Richmond. The map images show that the burial ground extends to the south of 

present day Hospital Street, and a good deal to the North of the railroad tracks.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours truly,
Lenora

Email 6: Monday Dec 24, 6:17pm

Mr. Kirchen,

I am requesting please that mapping out of actual parcels from deed records be 

done. This should be part of the high speed rail project's due diligence for the burying 

ground location on Shockoe Hill in it's entirety. 

It is my opinion that the burial grounds may extend into all of the parcels marked below.

Yours truly,

Lenora

Roger,

thank you and Mr. Holma for taking my concerns regarding the 1816 Burying Ground for 

Free People of Colour and for Slaves into consideration. I look forward to hearing from 

you again once you are able to make your review. 

The passage below is from the book "The Military History of the Virginia Military Institute 

from 1839 to 1865, page 406 appears to show that the burial ground was extended to 

the area behind the Alms House. It says that to the rear of the Alms House is where the 

colored cemetery was located, as well as the gallows. Not mentioned here, though I 

probably already did mention that I believe that the paupers buried outside of the walls 

of the Shockoe Hill Cemetery were buried behind the Alms House as well.
Yours truly,

Lenora

From: Emily Stock (Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation [DRPT]) 

and Kerri Barile (Project Team)

RE: Circa 1816 “Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves” (archaeological site 44HE1203)

Dear Ms. McQueen:

Thank you very much for your inquiry into the Washington, D.C. to Richmond High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) project 

and cultural resource studies in Richmond, Virginia. Your emails, authored between December 22, 2018 and 

January 5, 2019, were sent to us by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR)—the Virginia State 

Historic Preservation Office. In particular, your emails raised questions on the DC2RVA project and the 

Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves (site 44HE1203) and included numerous maps and other historical 

records. We are pleased to have this opportunity to share additional data on the work done to date on this 

resource as well as upcoming research tasks associated with the historic experience of enslaved individuals in 

Richmond.

As you know, the DC2RVA project has required compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. 

Archaeological and architectural surveys, as well as extensive archival research, were completed between 2015 

and 2018 on areas within the project area of potential effects (APE). For archaeological resources, this primarily 

included areas that will be physically impacted by the proposed construction (also known as the Limits of 

Disturbance [LOD]). Cultural resource specialists have conducted archaeological studies on the entire 123-mile 

long corridor, recording dozens of sites. Upon recordation, the team worked very closely with project engineers 

and sponsors to assure that significant sites are avoided or, at a minimum, that any impacts are limited to the 

greatest degree possible. 

Studies near the Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves (site 44HE1203) have been ongoing since 2015. 

As project plans have been developed, additional archaeological studies and archival research have been 

completed to assure that all portions of the APE have been thoroughly explored. This includes fieldwork as well 

as the creation of “georeferenced” overlays wherein historic maps are overlain on modern aerials to assure that 

all historic sites are taken into consideration in the APE. Near Hospital Street, Graveyard for Free People of Color 

and Slaves (site 44HE1203) was first identified by the DC2RVA team using this process and based on our overlay 

studies. It was recorded with DHR in the spring of 2018. The ensuing Phase I survey report, which you 

referenced in your emails, was the initial documentation of the site. 
 

600 E. Main St., Suite 2102

Richmond, VA 23219

Although DHR concurred that the site had been impacted by area development, DHR, DRPT and the project 

team recognized the significance of this resource, and the site was determined to be a “historic property” for 

the purposes of this study (defined as a resource that is potentially eligible for, eligible for or listed on the 

National Register of Historic Places). This assured that the site was included in all dialogues regarding impacts 

from the proposed project. 

The project team has also continued studies on Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves (site 44HE1203) 

since publishing the report in 2018 to assure that any areas with the potential to contain graves are avoided. 

Figure 1 (attached) shows a synthesis of some of the research and subsequent avoidance plans. This image 

depicts a modern aerial and the 1835 Bates map. Both show the graveyard site boundaries (in red) and the 

original project APE as shown in the Phase I report (in gold). Through numerous dialogues and work sessions

completed after publication of the Phase I report, impacts to the site were avoided (in purple) by reducing the 

footprint in this area. Work will now parallel existing Hospital Street, and all work will be confined to the 

existing, disturbed road right of way. No physical impacts will be made outside of the existing road corridor. 

Figures 2–5 are current photographs that depict this disturbed right of way corridor and additional area changes 

caused by the installation of I-95 in the 1960s, construction of a gas station and subsurface storage tanks in the 

last quarter of the twentieth century (note: the gas station was on top of the Graveyard for Free People of Color 

and Slaves [site 44HE1203]), and building an office on the southwest corner of the graveyard site.

Knowing that burials are often not contained to mapped boundaries, similar studies were also rendered on 

adjacent sites that could contain additional burial areas, particularly the area to the north and west of the 

mapped boundaries of Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves (site 44HE1203). Figure 6 illustrates the

current boundaries of the Hebrew Cemetery (architectural resource 127-6166) and the APE, highlighting the 

avoidance of this entire area to stay away from potential interments. All proposed work associated with the 

DC2RVA rail improvements in this area is designed away from the potential burial areas, on the north and east 

sides of the track. Moreover, the proposed work is confined to the existing rail right of way, a space within 15–

25 feet of the existing track and an area that has been completely disturbed over the past century through rail 

construction and other land improvements. Archaeological studies have confirmed this disturbance. 

Beyond technical studies, the team has also spent the past year working with various federal, state, and local 

agencies and historical groups to disseminate data on historic properties along the corridor with a particular 

focus on the Shockoe area of Richmond. Thirty-three Consulting Parties (formal groups with a vested interest in 

area history and prehistory), over a dozen agencies, and 23 individuals with knowledge of the African-American 

heritage of this area have been involved in ongoing dialogues, culminating in well over 100 meetings, emails, 

and telephone calls regarding resources in Richmond. The DC2RVA team is committed to soliciting feedback on 

cultural resources, and data provided by these groups has been included in subsequent coordination with DHR, 

in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS, ongoing), and in the draft Memorandum of Agreement 
 

600 E. Main St., Suite 2102

Richmond, VA 23219

(MOA) written to outline mitigations to address project adverse effects to historic properties. This 65+-page 

MOA specifically highlights tasks that will be undertaken by DRPT to sponsor additional research on the AfricanAmerican experience in historic Richmond, including: developing a historic context on the association between 

the railroad and the slave trade in Virginia, creating a webpage using the context data, crafting several sets of 

public signs outlining African-American history in this area, completing community engagement and 

ethnographic research regarding the history of this area and its importance to the African-American descendent 

community, and helping the City of Richmond develop a historic district inclusive of places of significance within 

the lexicon of the black experience in Shockoe, among other tasks. The Graveyard for Free People of Color and 

Slaves (site 44HE1203) will be included in these upcoming studies, and the research that you provided will be 

added to the collection of important data on this area. The team will also assure that your data is included in the 

existing site file located at the DHR, including the provided names of interred individuals, so that it may be seen 

by future researchers.

We understand that an on-site visit may be warranted to engage in a more robust dialogue on your concerns. As 

such, we are available to set up a meeting on site to include appropriate members of the project team so that 

we can view the current landscape, provide data on the DC2RVA project, and hear your concerns in person. 

Please contact us at Emily.Stock@drpt.virginia.gov/ 804-786-1052 or kbarile@dovetailcrg.com/ 540-899-9170 if 

you have any further questions, or would like to meet on site. If you prefer, we are also happy to participate in a 

call so we can describe the project verbally. We also encourage the participation of Steve Thompson from 

Rivanna Archaeological Services or any other individuals who may want to participate in this discussion and 

provide feedback. We look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Ms. Barile and Mr. Kirchen,

I am a faculty member in the Department of History at Virginia Commonwealth University. I am completing a book (under contract with the Johns Hopkins University Press) on

the history and historic preservation of burial grounds in Richmond, Virginia which includes a chapter on the "second African Burial Ground," also known as the "Graveyard for

Free People of Color and For Slaves" and as the "Potter's Field." For months, I have communicated with Lenora McQueen about the site and her connection to it. I have

reviewed Emily Calhoun's 2013 report on the site and discussions of the site in the 2018 Phase 1B survey report from Dovetail. I write to share my opinion on the site as defined

therein. In short, I share Ms. McQueen's concerns.

We can document use of the site beginning in 1816. By 1848, the site had grown so full that the city council expanded it southwest across Hospital Street, enclosing the grounds

surrounding the new hospital to be used "as a Burying ground for coloured persons." Burials continued throughout both areas into the 1850s, as documented in Frederick Law

Olmsted's description of a slave funeral there "near the foot of a hill, in a crumbling bank—the ground below being already occupied, and the graves apparently advancing in

terraces up the hill-side.” The growing site was also documented in newspaper reports of hangings in the rear of the poor house where black victims were buried, in newspaper

accounts of black graves being disturbed by construction of the new powder magazine after the Civil War and during construction of the first Fifth Street viaduct bridge in 1891,

in city directories following the Civil War, and in the memoirs of a Virginia Military Institute attendee who described a "Colored Cemetery" to the rear of the almshouse. Lastly, the

Library of Virginia has records from the city of Richmond dating to 1862 which include quarterly reports from the keeper of the burial grounds, listing the names of those interred,

the dates of their interment, and the causes of death. What is consistent throughout all these sources is that the site was big - sprawling well beyond the limited two acres initially

set aside in 1816, as reflected in subsequent maps shown in Calhoun's study and also shared with you by Ms. McQueen. Another consistency is that the site continually fell

victim to predations from the white community.

Unfortunately, your current reporting suggests that some (many? most?) graves were removed from this site to the state penitentiary grounds. I regard this as pure

speculation/folklore in the absence of concrete evidence. Even if true, the small number of graves that may have been removed could have represented only a small fraction of

the total burials. And while it is true that much of this ground has been disturbed by transportation projects and industrial uses, these desecrations do not minimize the overall

significance of the site as a place of memory. 

The high speed rail project's proposed widening of the tracks and the further disturbance of Hospital Street will surely impinge upon this site. This project will make it even more

difficult for the public and for descendants to recognize the site for what it was. It will add to the city's ongoing, active disregard for the site, exemplified by the earlier decision in

1959 to sell it to a private landowner for use as a gas station. I would hope that our state preservation office, and the cultural resource firms reporting to it, would be much more

responsive to such continued minimization of the site and would revise those plans accordingly.

If I can supply you with any more documentation to help revisit these decisions, please let me know. Ms. McQueen can speak for the descendant community. But I can speak for

the academic community and for the students whom I regularly take on site visits that the avoidance plans presented here seem inadequate and will materially affect our

interpretation of the site. Sincerely,

Ryan K. Smith

Dear Ms. Barile and Ms. Stock

Thank you for copying me on your recent (01/16/2019) response to the concerns expressed by 

Lenora McQueen regarding potential impacts to the nineteenth-century site of Richmond’s 

Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves (44HE1209) associated with the Washington, 

DC-Richmond highspeed rail project (DHR project file #2014-0666). As background to my 

involvement in this matter I should note that I have corresponded and collaborated regularly with 

Ms. McQueen, who lives in Texas, for the past ten years or so regarding her research into her 

family history, which reaches back into several prominent Antebellum Albemarle County 

plantations—most notably, Redlands, Morven, and Highland.

Ms. McQueen and I first became acquainted during my company’s participation, from 2009 to 

2012, in collaborative research undertaken with Monticello and University of Virginia 

archaeologists and historians at Morven, where Ms. McQueen’s ancestral ties are particularly 

strong. At some point during that project, we learned through documentary research that one of 

Ms. McQueen’s enslaved relatives moved from Albemarle to Richmond as part of the household 

of her recently-married Higgenbotham mistress/owner. Although long acquainted by email, Ms. 

McQueen and I met for the first time a little over one year ago when she traveled to 

Charlottesville as a panel participant in UVa’s 2017 symposium on Universities, Slavery, Public 

Memory, and the Built Landscape. It was then that I first learned that Ms. McQueen had 

continued to pursue, in her characteristically thorough and resourceful and persistent style, this 

Richmond branch of her family. Roughly six months later, in May 2018, I received an email 

from Ms. McQueen informing me that she had learned, through internet research, that the socalled Talley Service Center parcel at 1305 N. 5th Street in Richmond (parcel ID N0000233006) 

was on a list of properties slated for public auction for delinquent taxes and asking for guidance. 

That was the point at which I began to learn about Richmond’s Cemetery for Free People of 

Color and Slaves and Ms. McQueen’s remarkable connections to this unrecognized (and 

unrecognizable) historic property. As you may know, Ms. McQueen was single-handedly 

responsible for having the mayor’s office intervene and remove the Talley parcel from the 

auction block, widening the circle of those aware of this site, and greatly expanding, through her 

research, understanding of its history. For my part, I was able to provide Ms. McQueen access 

and insight into the recent “grey literature” relevant to the site and help her to understand why 

and how it was being considered by the DC-RVA highspeed rail project. 

So, with that aside I offer the following comments based on my reading of CRA’s 2015 report on 

geoarchaeological investigations within VDOT’s I-64 right-of-way below the Shockoe Creek

bridge, Dovetail’s 2018 report on Phase IB archaeological investigations within the highspeed 

rail corridor, consideration of many aspects of Ms. McQueen’s own copious research into this 

site that she regularly shares with me, and your January 16, 2019 letter...

______________________________

Thank you very much for your quick and detailed response to our concerns. I am clearly a latecomer to this discussion, having arrived from a wholly different starting point, and have only 

recently learned of the role being played by the high-speed rail project in the research and 

understanding of Richmond’s Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves. I am particularly 

pleased to learn of the extensive consultation and community engagement already undertaken 

and yet envisioned by your project. Before receiving your letter, I was completely unaware of the 

number of consulting parties involved in this undertaking and of the breadth and scope of their 

engagement, especially as regards the additional research and interpretive efforts that will be 

addressed through implementation of the mentioned MOA. That said, I continue to have 

outstanding questions and concerns that were not wholly addressed in your letter that I have tried 

to better articulate through the following series of questions and comments.

Questions and Responses

1) Are you able to share the MOA mentioned in your letter? Can you provide names of the 

Consulting Parties to this project? Can you provide minutes of meetings and/or other 

discussions and events that touch on or make specific mention of the Graveyard for Free 

People of Color and Slaves (44HE1203)?

2) Apart from the VDOT-sponsored research conducted within that department’s right-ofway below the I-64 bridge, what are the other research efforts have been “ongoing since 

2015” near the Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves mentioned in your letter? 

(The V-CRIS site form lists only a single CRM event – Dovetail’s February 4, 2018 

pedestrian reconnaissance of the locale.)

3) Can you please elaborate/explain the process of geo-registration of the 1835 Bates map? 

Specifically, what ground-control points were used in this registration? And, why does 

the southwesternmost corner of the cemetery not align with the present-day northeastern 

corner of the intersection of Fifth and Hospital streets, which would appear to be how the 

site was depicted by Bates? Some consideration of the assumptions and potential 

inaccuracies common to geo-registration of historic maps is appropriate in this context.

4) Why does the 1877 Beers map of Richmond (sheets from the 1889 Baist Atlas), showing 

a much enlarged “Potters Field,” not receive equal consideration in the delineation of the 

boundaries of the historic cemetery? The evaluation of the site’s potential significance in 

Dovetail’s Phase IB report (p.4-225) (and in the V-CRIS site form) acknowledges that the 

cemetery was established around 1816 and that it may have lasted as late as 1890. 

However, explicit discussion and consideration of the cemetery’s use through the middle 

and into the late nineteenth century, its likely expansion, and ultimate abandonment 

seems to only repeat research sponsored by VDOT in 2013. In particular, the anecdotal 

claim reported in 2013 that burials at the cemetery may have been relocated around 1890 

in association with construction of the Northside/Fifth Street viaduct, though repeated, is 

not pursued or further substantiated. Lenora McQueen’s research demonstrates very

clearly that the public cemetery that began as the “Graveyard for Free People of Color 

and Slaves” remained in operation and continued to receive significant numbers of 

African American burials until June 1879, with 1,770 African American burials reported 

by the cemetery’s keeper in the six-and-a-half years between January 1873 and June 1879 

(an average rate of more than 20 burials per month).1 This evidence clearly indicates that 

the cemetery remained active—indeed, very much so—for nearly a half-century after 

publication of the Bates map and that it was substantially expanded beyond the 

boundaries shown on that early document. Inclusion and explicit discussion of the 

cemetery’s depiction on the 1877 Beers map (and 1889 Baist Atlas) combined with 

understanding of its use after the Civil War as can be gleaned from other documentary 

sources arguably yields a much larger and historically more complicated site than that 

portrayed in the Phase IB report.

5) That said (and following on from Item 3, above), delineation of the cemetery’s 

boundaries solely based on its depiction at the margins of nineteenth-century maps of 

uncertain and possibly variable cartographic accuracy seems misguided and other 

efforts to more accurately determine its boundaries should be explored. For example, 

identification, through deed research, and platting of the boundaries of the parcel sold by 

the City to E. G. Rex in 1866 or 1867 for the construction of a new powder magazine 

may help better understand the late-nineteenth-century limits of the cemetery.2 Research 

into other deeds for neighboring properties and platting of their boundaries onto existing 

conditions and parcel maps, such as the tract purchased in the Bacon’s Quarter Branch 

valley immediately north of the cemetery by Tanner & Delaney Engine Co. around 1881 

(and later acquired by Richmond Locomotive & Machine Works c.1887), might also aid 

in more accurately establishing the boundaries of the City-owned cemetery. Similarly, 

exploring deeds and other documents associated with land acquisition and construction 

around 1900 of the Sea Board Airline Railroad may help to clarify the nineteenth-century 

boundary between publicly-owned (that may have received human burials) and privately 

held land to the north and east.

6) The physical evidence of the present-day landscape, as well as that collected by the 

VDOT-sponsored field research in 2013, abundantly supports the conclusion that the 

Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves/Potters Field has been heavily disturbed 

and that, at least in certain portions of the historic cemetery, the survival of intact burials 

seems highly unlikely. The Phase IB report and your letter highlight the depth of the cuts 

along the north side of Hospital Street and the west side of the I-64 right-of-way as good 

illustrations of this conclusion. However, using your registration of the 1834 Bates map 

 

1

"Note – The hill-side adjoining the Hebrew Cemetery, used for many years as a burial-place for colored persons, 

was abandoned in June last. These people are now interred in Oakwood Cemetery" (Richmond Dispatch, 1 January 

1880). Counts of “colored” interments broken down between adults and children and often between men and 

women, as reported by the Superintendent of Shockhoe Hill Cemetery were reported, typically, in January, in the 

Richmond Dispatch. Colored interments were noted as being made “in ground adjacent” to the white Shockoe Hill 

cemetery.

2 Richmond’s powder magazine, apparently located east of Fifth Street and south of the present Hospital Street, was 

deliberately destroyed The recommendation by the City’s Committee on Public Grounds and Buildings to sell “the 

ground north of that formerly occupied by the powder magazine” to E. G. Rex “for the re-erection of a powder 

magazine” was reported in the October 8, 1866 edition of the Daily Dispatch. The subsequent discovery of 

approximately 100 human skeletons during construction of the new magazine the following year was reported by the

Richmond Whig (April 9, 1867) and Daily Dispatch (April 9, 1867).

how confident can we be that intact graves do not survive, possibly below fill, within the 

current LOD on the south side of Hospital Street? Are there other areas within the LOD, 

particularly north of the Hebrew Cemetery and Talley Service Center parcel that might 

also contain intact graves? Relying solely on visual examination of current conditions to 

assess whether intact burials are present seems inadequate and, at the very least, 

hypotheses about site and landscape modification should be tested through additional 

field investigation. While intact graves may not be present, what is the potential that 

disinterred and scattered human remains survive in disturbed surface soils within the 

LOD in the vicinity of the historic cemetery? Is more complete documentation, through a 

combination of archival research and archaeological/geo-archaeological field 

investigation, necessary to develop a more complete understanding of this site and its 

developmental history?

7) The Phase IB report limits discussion of the potential significance of the Graveyard for 

Free People of Color and Slaves/Potters Field to the possibility that intact graves 

belonging to the cemetery survive. In essence, the perspective articulated in the report is 

that if there is no evidence of graves, the property (by definition) lacks integrity and 

therefore cannot possess historical significance. However, suppose we think about the 

cemetery less in terms of its early – mid-nineteenth-century function and setting and 

more in terms of later nineteenth-century Jim Crow era historical themes? Although 

much research remains to be conducted, evidence currently available suggests that, 

following the impacts associated with the 1867 powder magazine construction, serious 

disturbances to (and perhaps, ultimately, destruction of) large parts of the historic 

cemetery were associated with the extension and widening of the Fifth Street corridor in 

the mid to late 1880s, itself part of the process of Richmond’s demographic, and 

economic expansion and the opening of peripheral lands for new, predominately white, 

suburban development north of Bacon’s Quarter Branch. Already in 1883, the Daily 

Dispatch was reporting that “improvements at the extreme north end of Fifth Street” were 

impinging upon “bodies buried in that locality,” though whether these were Jewish, 

African American, or indigent bodies was not specified.3 A pair of historic photographs 

held by the Valentine Museum and dating between approximately 1887 and 1891 and 

bracketing construction of the Fifth Street viaduct reveal very graphically the enormous 

extent of alterations to this location.4

While the possibility that graves may have been relocated cannot be dismissed without 

further research, whatever happened to the cemetery must be considered in light of the 

comments of the editor of the Richmond Planet, the city (and state’s) highly important 

African American newspaper, in 1896 that the city’s expansion north entailed “the 

desecration of the burial ground on Poor-house Hill, North 5th Street” during which 

“graves were dug into, bones scattered, coffins exposed, and the hearts of the surviving 

families made to bleed by the desecration of the remains of their loved ones.”5 Not 

considering this later history of the Graveyard for Free People of Color and 

Slaves/Potters Field and confining consideration of its potential historical significance to

the presence of intact graves and/or other surviving physical evidence of a former 

memorial or commemorative landscape, runs the very real risk of implying that the latenineteenth-century destruction and desecration of sites integral to the formation and 

maintenance of African American cultural and community identity somehow lacks 

historical significance. The re-creation /re-birth of Richmond after the Civil War included 

a range of acts both commemorative and destructive that left their enduring marks on the 

City’s landscape and these marks continue to influence and shape the way Richmond’s 

residents and visitors alike understand its history.

8) Phase II level research, both archaeological and documentary, is warranted at 44HE1203

a. to more fully define the historic aerial limits of the Graveyard for Free People of 

Color and Slaves/Potters Field,

b. to develop a clearer and more detailed understanding of the site’s history of use 

and demise, and 

c. to provide a fuller consideration of the site’s potential historical significance, 

especially in light of themes relevant to current understandings of Richmond’s 

Reconstruction and Jim Crow era history and that expands consideration to 

include NR Criterion A (that the site is associated with events that have made a 

significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history).

This last item is undeniably challenging given that our accepted methods for discussing 

and evaluating the historical significance of cultural properties typically requires the 

presence of tangible, physical qualities. The current situation provides us all with an 

opportunity to consider how we might acknowledge and commemorate sites whose 

significance lies, at least in part, in their deliberate erasure/removal. Such sites 

necessarily lack integrity, but surely they remain imbued with historical significance.

Thank you for considering these thoughts and I look forward to our continued discussion,

Dear Roger and Kerri:

My 4th great-grandmother Kitty would have been buried in the slave burial ground at 5th and Hospital Street. She died a little over 160 years ago in the City

of Richmond, in the home of her owner who lived on the south-side of Franklin between 6th and 7th. That place today is a parking garage. The daughter of

her owner Elizabeth wrote a heartfelt letter to her sister in Philadelphia the very same morning that Kitty died, lovingly, but very sadly informing her sister of

the death of their beloved Kitty. The letter brought tears to my eyes as I read of her long illness, and painful death. I was touched by how much love was

expressed for her in that letter by Elizabeth. Kitty’s daughters who were present were devastated. The other children and grandchildren unknowing of what

had occurred - as they had been sold after the death of their owner a few years prior, splitting up the family. The deceased owner was Elizabeth’s father.

Elizabeth told of how she had Kitty’s body neatly prepared for the grave, “it is what she would have done for me” she said. Kitty was dressed in the garment

that she herself had requested for that purpose. Her last words she spoke to her children in an attempt to comfort them as she herself lay dying, seeing

them weeping - “Don’t cry children, don’t cry for me, I am going home” - she breathed her last breath and died.

Elizabeth and her sister who also lived in Richmond intended to follow Kitty’s body to the grave the next day. She indicated that their intention was that no

respect would be spared for Kitty. My intention also is that no respect should be spared for Kitty, other family members buried there at the burial ground, or

for the other many thousands that were interred at the cemetery at 5th and Hospital Street. In my eyes Kitty holds a place of high honor. And all of those

people buried there were probably loved by someone. They were someone’s child, someone’s mother, someone’s father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle,

grandparent, grandchild, cousin, friend...... They were someone’s someone. They are still someone’s someone. They deserve to be honored. They deserve

to be remembered. They deserve to have their story told, and no longer hidden. And they deserve to be allowed to rest in peace.

I came to Richmond last year to find Kitty (also others in the family). I had only known of the intention of her owner to keep her, the owner being the mother

of Elizabeth. I had no idea of what had actually happened. So I came to Richmond, and I found Kitty. The excitement I felt when I realized that I could go to

the place that she would have been buried. I remember the confusion, and the disappointment upon reaching my destination. I didn’t understand the place

at all, and I kept thinking that I must be in the wrong place, it can’t possibly be this place... And I had hoped that I was in the wrong place. And I left there not

knowing, until sometime later that it was actually the right place. How sad... That desolate hillside with an abandoned gas station on it and a billboard - It is

so disrespectful. But with all that has happened there, it does not make that place not important. With all that has happened it does not make the people

interred there not important. It deserves something better. They deserve something better. Even those whose skeletal remains were obviously moved, they

deserve something better, as even today their essence remains.

I have been deeply involved in research trying to uncover the history of the place where my Kitty was laid to rest by those who loved her. It has been a

horribly sad and disturbing journey seeing the degradation, the disrespect, and the destruction associated with this burial ground. I have no idea if she rests

there in peace or if she fell victim to one of the many atrocities that befell that graveyard. Though even if she herself were untouched, how could she rest in

peace? The history of the burial ground is tragic. It’s story is also incomplete.

The very day after I read that letter for the first time telling of Kitty’s death and while attending the symposium on the President’s Commission on Slavery at

the University of Virginia, I learned the first tragic piece of history directly connected to the graveyard. It was a main topic at the symposium - grave robbing

for the medical colleges, and this graveyard was one of the targets. I was absolutely horrified. I later learned of the well at VCU where human remains were

thrown away as if they were trash. The medical waste well at VCU that was accidentally uncovered dates to the time of this graveyard. That was only the first

of several horrifying pieces of news regarding the burial ground that I received. Following was the news of the explosion of the gunpowder magazine on

evacuation day in 1865. Then it appears that Hospital Street was moved, its course driven through the burial ground, and also the selling of a piece of the

graveyard land for the construction of a new gunpowder magazine (more than 100 skeletons being uncovered when the foundation was dug in 1867).

Perhaps the street was moved to accommodate the two new magazines that were built.

The archaeological testing and excavations that are mentioned in the 2013 VDOT report appears to have taken place in the same spot where the new Gun

Powder Magazines were built. This is the land sold by the City in 1866 expressly for the erection of the new Gun Powder Magazines, there were two sales,

and two magazines. The Powder Magazines appear clearly on the 1877 map which was mentioned but not imaged in the report. My opinion is that the

search here was not extensive enough and the conclusions were drawn prematurely; I say this in light of the evidence. I also learned that Fifth Street was

run through the burial ground, and the Northside / 5th Street Viaduct as well. Additionally a walkway leading to Richmond Locomotive was run through it, and

later railroad tracks were built on it. There is the gas station that was placed upon it, and the billboard, etc. Each one of those very deliberate actions

destroyed the graves of someone’s loved ones. I think about how hurt and devastated Kitty’s family would have been and also the many others who were

affected by those actions taken for another’s monetary gain. It truly breaks my heart.

This burial ground is supposed to be a place of eternal rest - a place of honor and memorial, just like at the two burial grounds next to it. The disparity

between them is shocking, and quite beyond words. On any given day a descendant of those buried at the Shockoe Hill Cemetery or the Hebrew Cemetery

can go and visit the grave of their ancestor which is still to this day lovingly cared for and attended to. That is not true of the African American Community

who had enslaved ancestors who died before 1879 in the City of Richmond. The descendants exist not only in Richmond, but all over the country. We the

descendant community of that burial ground can only wonder what happened, and what is going to happen next? Would you do what you are proposing to

do for the sake of high-speed rail to the Hebrew Cemetery or to Shockoe Hill Cemetery? I assume that the answer would be no. So I have to ask, when is

enough, enough? When will our ancestors who were laid to rest at that corner be honored, and left in peace? Have you considered how many true

descendants of those who were buried in that burial ground exist? It was the slave burial ground for the city for 49 years and a very active one. And it

continued as a very active burial ground for 13 additional years. Not to mention those who were free people of color who would have been buried there as

well prior to 1865. There were many thousands of people buried there. That could mean that there are millions of people who descended from those who

were buried in that graveyard. But most of them have been robbed of their history. And they have been robbed of that place in which they can pay their

respects to the ones that came before them. But that part can be changed, at least on some level.

The burial ground appears to have never been called Potter’s Field, not officially prior to its inclusion on the 1877 Bates Map. Reports of interments for both

black persons and white were made by the Superintendent of the Shockoe Hill Burial Ground who kept registers and who made regular reports to the City

Council and to the standing committee of the City Council which was called the Shockoe Hill Burying Ground Committee, and much later the Committee on

Cemeteries. Occasional references to the Poor House Cemetery or Poor House Hill were not references to a Potter’s Field. The 1869 City Directory refers

to the burial ground for colored people as the African Burial Ground and the Shockoe Hill Cemetery as the Poor House Cemetery. This same publication lists

John Pearce as the Superintendent of both burying grounds in addition to the Jewish Cemetery. Later reporting in the 1870s appears to be made under the

name Shockoe Hill Cemetery with the black cemetery being more specifically referred to as the adjoining ground. On February 21, 1878 The Daily Dispatch

reported under the heading “ADDITIONAL BURYING-GROUND NEEDED” 304 colored interments had been made that year. Also mentioned was that it was

impossible to make any new interments without disturbing some previous burial due to the overcrowded conditions.

I can not say whether or not any burials were removed to the prison graveyard, though it would seem from the description made that the majority of those

burials were prison inmates. I can say that the number of interments made for colored people at the burial ground at 5th and Hospital between 1873 and

June of 1879 was 1,808 which I believe exceeded the number of burials at the prison graveyard about 5 times over, not to mention the thousands buried in

prior years.

I ask please for a direct response to the letters written by Steve Thompson, Phd of Rivanna Archaeological Services, and history professor Ryan Smith, Phd.

The opinions they have expressed, and the concerns and questions which have been raised in their letters mirror my own. I too would like to know the

answers.

I continue to have deep concerns for the burial ground at 5th and Hospital Street (1816 Graveyard for Free People of Colour and For Slaves / 1877 Potter’s

Field). The reports made indicate that the burial ground is being minimized in terms of its size and its history. I appreciate the response I received from you

Kerri and the invitation to visit the site. I don’t believe however that the letter you so kindly sent to me answered my questions or addressed my concerns. I

feel it important that these things be specifically addressed in writing. Though at some point I would certainly welcome the opportunity to talk to you. At this

time I would not be able to pay the site a visit in person, at least not in the near future as far as I know, as I live too far away. Traveling that distance and

enduring the expense, as well as lost time from work - unfortunately it is something that I can not do. If something changes, I hope the invitation will remain

open. I thank you for the offer.

I ask that this burial ground be recognized and studied to its fullest extent, its dimensions and history fully explored. I ask please that DHR change its

position in regards to the matter of the burial ground and request further testing and exploration.

My goal is not to completely derail and halt your project. I seek only to ensure that the site be treated with dignity and respect. This is an opportunity for all

parties to come together to collaborate, increase understanding and formulate a mutually acceptable solution, a better solution to this tragedy. Among other

things, I myself have done extensive research in relationship to the burial ground which I believe would be quite helpful. This research is also ongoing.

Your consideration of this matter is deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Yours truly,

Lenora

Hello Ms. McQueen,

Thank you very much for reaching out to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) regarding the Washington, DC to Richmond, Virginia segment of the

Southeast High Speed Rail project and potential impacts on the Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves (DHR project file #2014-0666). Roger Kirchen at the DHR

forwarded your emails to us, and we have prepared some data to share regarding the project and the cemetery (attached).

As the letter mentions, if you would like, we would love to meet you on site to look at the area and describe the project. Sometimes things are so much easier to see in

person/3D than on flat maps! Just let us know if you would like to meet, and we can absolutely schedule a date. We are also more than happy to chat on the phone if you

prefer. 

Thanks again!

Dear Dr. Barile and Ms. Stock,

I write regarding the potential impacts of the high speed rail project to Richmond’s Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves (44HE1209), after communications with

Lenora McQueen and Steve Thompson. I conducted my dissertation on Richmond’s archaeology and also coordinate a community organization, RVA Archaeology, focused on

archaeological education and advocacy in the city. I am currently engaged in research on the Virginia State Penitentiary project referenced in Calhoun's 2013 VDOT report, and

our research has also failed to identify confirmation that Viaduct burials were relocated in the Penitentiary. Regardless of potential burial relocation and the presence of modern

utilities, I hope that there is archaeological monitoring planned for the portion of the project along this cemetery.

I offer the following comments on the project:

1) I echo Steve Thompson’s recommendations for additional Phase II before moving forward with construction on the south side of Hospital Street, especially given

Richmond’s egregious history of moving black burials for public works projects. If there is a way of becoming more educated regarding the site integrity and the potential for

human remains before moving ahead, I think it’s morally important that we do so.

2) As far as any of us are aware, Lenora McQueen is the only person who has identified their status as a descendant of someone buried in Richmond’s Graveyard for Free

People of Color and Slaves. Given this, I believe it is appropriate for her to be invited to be listed as a consulting party in the MOA and as a person to contact in the

Unanticipated Discoveries Plan in the event that human remains are identified during the project. It might also be helpful to discuss the treatment plans for this site and any plans

for archaeological monitoring and avoidance measures.

3) I welcome the offer of a site visit to discuss the question of the burial ground’s integrity and potential exposure by the project, although Ms. McQueen lives in Texas and

might prefer responses in writing and over the phone. The RVA Archaeology group would also be interested in setting up a public event in Richmond to discuss the archaeology

and history being uncovered as part of the DC-Richmond high speed rail project.

4) I echo Steve’s request for more details regarding the MOA and ask that the document and the list of consulting groups and individuals be released to Lenora if at all

possible as a way of continuing this conversation.

Thanks very much, we are interested in the collaborative history research that this project may entail, and look forward to your thoughts.

Best,

Ellen

Hello Steve, Ms. McQueen, and Mr. Smith,

We deeply appreciate your continued comments regarding the circa 1816 cemetery near Hospital Street! Over the past few weeks, the DRPT, project team, and DHR have gone

over your materials and your requests to assure that we fully understand your concerns and can address all questions, ensuing a robust dialogue on this area. Additional

information on the Section 106 process and all meetings will be coming your way by the close of business today, as requested. 

In the meantime, we would like to schedule the on-site meeting so that we can go over DC2RVA project plans directly at the site to facilitate our dialogue. In discussing

potential times and dates with the involved parties, we would like to recommend that we meet on site on Wednesday, February 13 at 3pm. Alternative dates would be

Tuesday, February 12 at 3pm or Thursday, February 14 at 3pm. Please let us know your availability, and I can send a formal calendar invite once a date is confirmed. If these

dates and times do not work, we can look at availability during the following week.

Good morning,

Thank you again for your patience as materials related to the DC2RVA project were culled together. I've created a Dropbox file that addresses the first two questions/requests

in Steve Thompson's letter dated January 24, 2019. The files can be found here (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pfiq48t6hlr6t91/AAAPS3IhuAAxCaO__vJs6xrma?dl=0) and they

include:

1) Appendix U from the Draft EIS published in September 2017. This contains all Section 106 coordination documents between commencing the project in November 2014 and

August 2017. It is 740 pages.

2) Appendix E from the upcoming Final EIS (in draft form as the document has not been published yet). This contains all Section 106 coordination between August 2017 and

January 2019. It is 543 pages.

3) Draft MOA that has been through one round of reviews by FRA, DHR, and DRPT and is now in a second round of edits with these agencies as well as the ACHP and

consulting parties. It is 71 pages.

These documents contain all 106 correspondence. Please know that I didn't overload you with materials to lead you on a wild goose chase! :) But the 106 outreach on this

project has been long and robust so I wanted to send you what has been done. All of the coordination blends to include the entire corridor and we discussed all areas, including

Richmond and the historic properties, in all dialogues with the agencies and vested groups for over four years, so it is a bit hard to tease out materials that only pertain to this

cemetery. Hopefully the summary tables in the beginning can narrow down the topic of the correspondence and I am, of course, always available to highlight certain pieces.

I've been living and breathing this project for over four years now!

One document that is NOT within this batch is the roster of commitments that is being made in association with the National Environmental Policy Act process. In addition to

106 mitigation, the project has NEPA commitments, some of which revolve around this portion of Richmond. The roster is currently being developed, and your input at our

onsite meeting and through your letters is helping to refine this list. I mention this to keep in mind as you review the MOA- there are multiple legislative requirements that will

include cultural resource commitments. We're looking forward to discussing these with you.

Beyond your request for these three categories of documents, we are also working on the other points in all letters and emails received on this project. We will have additional

overlays, geo data, and descriptions of project impacts when we meet. I think a lot of your questions will be answered at that time, and we are really looking forward to our

dialogue!

Again, I am absolutely here to discuss these materials between now and next Wednesday, and much more will be shared on site.

Thanks so much!

Kerri

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow at 3PM for the site visit. 

Please note that we do not have permission to enter the privately-owned sections of the site. We do have permission to park on a City of Richmond-owned parcel to the

southeast of the site. 

Parking Location: SE corner of 7th Street and Hospital Street. Address: 703 Hospital Street See maps below. 

Please plan to meet in this parking area a few minutes before 3PM. We can review maps and handouts from that vantage point, and then head out as a group to the Hospital

Street sidewalk (east side of street) up to 5th Street. 

Our head count is around 20. Since we will be walking across a busy street and the railroad tracks, I would like to keep the group together as much as possible for

safety. To aid in discussion and to help orient us at the site, we've prepared a timeline with historical and current maps. DRPT will provide hard copies of the timeline at the site

tomorrow. We will also have large-scale project plans to review together in the parking area before we start our walk. 

Please carpool with colleagues to the extent possible - and call me if you have any last minute questions or change of plans. Thank you! Emily Stock (tel. 804-971-1381)

I'm so, so sorry Lenora. 

It strikes me that since several of these events were happening prior to 50 years ago, if there is evidence of how the site was damaged, that is itself archaeological information

worthy of being recorded so it can be used to explore the actions of the city regarding this cemetery. I would like more information regarding why a no adverse effect

determination is being made when the designs are at 10% and in light of more archaeological testing and monitoring being planned at the site. It looks like there is a possibility

that these sidewalks and road improvements are going to get constructed or modified on top of bodies and disarticulated human remains, also. That to me seems like an

adverse effect.

Thank you for participating in the site visit yesterday. Please see blue text below in response to your questions. 

1. The Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources's (DHR) determination (January 4, 2019) that the project will have

no adverse effect upon the Grave Yard site (44HE1203) remains in effect? Yes. After extensive dialogues, review of project plans, and evaluation of comments

received from consulting parties and other vested groups, the FRA and DHR have agreed with DRPT’s determination that there is no adverse effect to site 44HE1203

associated with the DC2RVA project under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. 

2. How will the commitments outlined in the Recommendations section of the Draft Timeline of Events distributed yesterday be incorporated formally into project

planning and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance process?

1. Will these commitments be included as part of the MOA now being drafted for inclusion in the project's Final Environmental Impact Statement, or as some

other component of the FEIS? The commitments will be incorporated into the Final EIS and later the Record of Decision (ROD) as part of the DC2RVA project.

FRA’s signature on the ROD will formally and definitively make the commitments an enforceable part of the DC2RVA project. The commitments are not

included in the MOA as the MOA only addresses historic properties that are adversely effected by the undertaking as related to Section 106.

2. Will there be an opportunity to review the text of these commitments before finalized? The draft text of the commitments were shared with you and other

stakeholders on February 12th prior to our site meeting. The commitments will be revised based on data obtained during our on-site meeting and

redistributed shortly; we welcome any comments you may have on these refined commitments or other aspects of the DC2RVA project. Once finalized, the

commitments will be published with the Final EIS and can be reviewed at that time as well.

3. Can you provide current understanding of the DC2RVA project schedule? 

1. When is the Final EIS due to be completed? The Final EIS is currently scheduled to be completed later this Spring or early Summer, pending final review

and acceptance by FRA.

2. When does the project anticipate entering the "final design and construction phase" (when the site commitments will be implemented), and what are the

variables that determine this? DRPT envisions building the overall 123-mile DC2RVA project in increments as funding becomes available. The Commonwealth

of Virginia has assigned priority to project segments in Northern Virginia as well as the Long Bridge project across the Potomac River. The improvements in

the Richmond area would likely follow completion of the DC2RVA improvements north of Fredericksburg. The schedule for all of these improvements is

dependent on funding availability, which is difficult to predict—however, any final design and construction for the Richmond area improvements as part of

DC2RVA is likely 10 to 15 years in the future.

3. When does the Team anticipate project designs reaching "90 percent completion," and what are the variables that will determine this? Current plans

provided in the Final EIS are at a 10 percent (conceptual) stage. Following release of the Final EIS, DRPT will be advancing plans for the Preferred Alternative

to a 30 percent level to provide additional clarity on project components and to advance work in the higher priority segments in Northern Virginia. Additional

site-specific data would be required to advance the plans beyond 30 percent, including topographic and property surveys, utility surveys, and geotechnical

investigations. Richmond area plans will not be advanced into further phases of design until funds become available for final design and construction.

All:

Thanks to all who participated with DRPT at the Graveyard for Free People of Color and Slaves site visit on Feb. 13th. Attached are meeting notes, meeting attendance roster,

and revised project commitments as discussed at the site visit. (See project commitment revisions highlighted in yellow.)

Lenora - I hope that these additional materials help to address your concerns. Please note that in addition to archaeological testing, DRPT is committing to develop a landscape

analysis of the site, and will concurrently reevaluate its resource boundaries and National Register of Historic Places eligibility through consultation with the DHR using any

newly acquired data. DRPT would move forward with these commitments during the final design and construction of the rail improvements in the Richmond area. I would like to

discuss these commitments with you and will try to reach you by phone. 

Best regards,

Emily Stock

Hello Kerri and Emily,

Would you please provide the detailed minutes from the February 13th site visit and the proposed commitments to the site? Additionally would you please provide the

current definition of site #44HE1203 “The Grave Yard For Free People of Colour and For Slaves” as it is much larger as it was previously being defined in the 2018

report? It seems important to know specifically how the site is currently being viewed. A previous request was made to examine the chain of title histories of adjoining

properties as the Grave Yard probably or possibly extended into those properties. Has that been done? If not - is it one of the proposed commitments? Is the site’s

historical significance in terms of the acts of destruction or partial destruction being considered? These acts are very much an important part of the history of the burial

ground and should be a part of its told story especially considering the many thousands of people that were buried there.

At this point has there been any reconsideration of the position regarding adverse effect? It seems to me that no matter where construction would be done in the area,

the potential to disturb remains exists - whether the remains are intact or scattered.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours truly,

Lenora

Site 44HE1203/Grave Yard for Free People of Color and Slaves

Cultural Resource Commitments for DC2RVA Rail Project

The following commitments will be included in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final 

EIS) for the Washington, D.C. to Richmond segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail project (the 

Project) in association with the Grave Yard for Free People of Color and Slaves (archaeological 

site 44HE1203). The commitments are made to address stipulations set forth in the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Each commitment has been agreed to by the Virginia 

Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT), and will be implemented, as appropriate, 

in the Project’s design and construction phases. The Project will be designed and constructed in 

increments as funding becomes available; as each Project increment is funded and moves forward 

through design and construction, the commitments appropriate to that specific Project increment 

will also be implemented. In the event that the Project is turned over to another sponsor during 

construction, DRPT will continue to coordinate the following commitments with that sponsor and 

the appropriate federal, state, and local regulatory and managing agencies. 

1) A landscape analysis of site 44HE1203 and surrounding area will be completed to 

understand the chronology of area development. This landscape analysis will include, 

among other tasks, archival research, oral histories with local historians and descendants, 

georeferenced overlays, a cut and fill analysis, and potentially 3D modeling of the data. 

Data to be gathered includes information on the history and development of the cemetery, 

post-interment impacts, and comments on the memorialization and interpretation of the 

site. The landscape analysis will be documented in a report and presented to the Virginia 

Department of Historic Resources (DHR), DRPT, Virginia Department of Transportation, 

City of Richmond, Historic Richmond Foundation, Preservation Virginia, and other vested 

groups interested in the history of this area for their use in future planning. Concurrently, 

the resource boundaries and National Register of Historic Places eligibility of site 

44HE1203 will be reevaluated through consultation with the DHR using the newly 

acquired data.

2) Once DC2RVA project designs in this area have reached 90 percent completion, 

archaeological testing will be completed in the revised limits of disturbance in the area of 

site 44HE1203 to examine the subsurface integrity and composition of these areas and 

ascertain the potential for intact burials. Should intact shafts or soils be noted, 

archaeological stripping of overburden may occur to delineate potential interments. If 

internments are identified, the project design will be re-evaluated and additional measures 

taken to avoid or minimize potential impacts to the internment area. 

3) A Secretary of the Interior (SOI)-qualified archaeologist will be on site during all 

DC2RVA construction-related ground disturbing activities in this area to assure that no 

unanticipated/undiscovered archaeological or burial remains are encountered during 

ground-disturbing construction. In the event that remains are encountered, construction 

would stop and the DHR will be contacted to evaluate next steps.
